What to expect from me as your Birth Doula..........

Free Meet & Greet

It's purpose is to initially meet each other, talk about your specific needs and expectations for a doula, and confirm that we are the right fit. You need to be comfortable having me as your birth Doula. This is about you not me.

Anenatal visits

These meetings are individually customised to you and your family and are for us to get to know one another and for me to learn how I can best support you. Here we will discuss and celebrate your pregnancy, and the journey of growing your little baby. We may address concerns you have surrounding the birth, discuss previous birth and pregnancy stories, talk about your preferences for this birth, and answer any questions you may have. We will have the opportunity to learn and practice labor management comfort measures and techniques. Help get your birth plan written up so everyone knows what you want and need to happen. Partners are welcome to every meeting and are encouraged to attend!

24/7 contact support

From the moment you choose me as your doula I am available for any questions, concerns or just a listening ear via calls/text/email.

On-call from 38 weeks until you deliver

Once we enter an agreement with one another, I pledge to be readily available and on-call for your birth the 2 weeks leading up to your due date, until your baby is born. I also make every effort to be available for pre-term births.
