scription of Services available
- 2-3 prenatal visits to assess your needs and desires for birth, define and understand our expectations of one another, and provide you with useful tools for labor and birth.
- Birth plan assistance to help you clarify your preferences for birth and explain the options that are available to you
- Access to my lending library of books about pregnancy, birth and baby care, to support your learning
- Continuous physical, emotional, and informational support for you and your partner for the duration of labor and birth, to help you hold and move towards the vision you created for your baby's birth. Massage, double hip squeeze, and making sure you keep hydrated are just a few of the things a doula provides :)
- Initial breastfeeding support immediately after birth to help your baby latch on properly and encourage the establishment of breastfeeding (if you choose to breastfeed)
- Unlimited phone and e-mail support to answer your questions and offer suggestions and support throughout pregnancy and early labor
- On-call 24/7 38 weeks up until your birth. You can call me anytime (day or night) you think you may be in labor or you need questions answered during this period.
- One postpartum follow-up visit to celebrate the birth of your baby and answer any questions you have during the early postpartum period. We will also go over the birth at this time and I will provide you with some lactation cookies and the recipe for them. I charge $650 for my services; but I am open to bartering or trading services for up to 30% of that fee. I am also registered with the Doulas for Aboriginal People's Grant so if you qualify for that your services will be covered for up to a $1,000.00. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions :)
