Childbirth Education
I have created a curriculum of six classes focusing on childbirth education. Each class is between 30-45 minutes long. These classes may be taught privately in an expectant-parent's home or taught to a group at a host site. You may choose to do only a few of the class topics or all of the topics. The price is $50 for the first class, then plus $25 for each additional class. Classes are beautifully displayed through a designed PowerPoint presentation. The six classes are: Fetal Development, Prenatal Health, Labor & Delivery, Comfort Measures, Birth Plans, and Breastfeeding & Newborn Care.
Doula Support
I provide full-spectrum doula support - this includes prenatal, intrapartum (birth), and postpartum education, support, and comfort. Creating a new life is so much more than just birthing a child - it is a journey which takes an entire year to cultivate. After an in-person consultation, there will be a minimum of two prenatal visits where we will work together to prepare birth plans, I will provide education on any topics that concern you, and help you prepare emotionally, spiritually, and physically for the labor ahead. Any family members who plan to attend the birth are encouraged to be a part of the prenatal visits. During the entire prenatal phase, I am available by text 24/7 and available by phone between 9-5 Monday through Saturday. A full month (four weeks) is reserved for you alone as my client and I will be on-call for when labor is initiated. During the intrapartum phase (birth), I will arrive as soon as possible to your location to support you and guide you through labor via various laboring positions and using comfort tools. I will also guide family members on how to support you as much as all parties are willing to do so. I will stay one hour post-birth to assist in recovery and establish breastfeeding. During the postpartum phase, I will visit a minimum of two times to process the birth with you, assist with household chores, cook, and practically be at your disposal as you rest and heal. I will guide you through postpartum nutrition, breastfeeding education, and postpartum herbs to speed healing. This full-spectrum service is $800.
Pregnancy Photography
During the prenatal phase, I can provide pregnancy photography in a 30-minute mini photoshoot where you will receive 10-20 edited photos. This service is $100. I do not do birth photography as I desire to have my entire focus on doula support.
Phone Consultations
Phone or video consultations for up to one hour of discussion. Often, I will send a file afterwards laying out the topic of discussion along with answers, research, and any information needed to supply you with peace and confidence. This may be on single topics of concern for you - inductions, medications, birth plans, and so on. A consultation of up to one hour is $20.
