Doula Practice

Picture

Before Your Birth 

We will meet to see if we are a good fit. The doula and mother need to feel comfortable together and have a connection. I will  go over your birth plan with you and figure out what my role in your  birth will be,  I will go over pain management preferences and your choices as far as interventions. Together we will come up with a plan that works for the both of us, is adaptive, and helps you to achieve your birthing goals.

During Labor

I will be with you throughout your labor. During this time I will enact the birthing plan while being attentive and as always flexible to the true nature of the individual labor. Each labor is different and must be treated with that respect. I will provide physical and emotional support, keep your birth plan in mind when you may not be able to, and provide natural pain management,

Postpartum

I will stay with you to facilitate latching on and a first feeding if  breastfeeding is part of your plan,  Once you are settled in at home I will come for  a postpartum visit. In this visit we will reflect on the birth, go over infant care, and make sure that mom and family have the resources that they need for happy first days.
