Work With Me: Your Birth Bestie

Your Empowered Birth: Labor Support with a Birth Doula

As your birth doula, I offer prenatal education along with emotional and hands-on support as your doula during labor. I will guide you through the essentials of childbirth, and show your partner how they can be involved so you feel well-supported and held. 

With my background as a nurse I provided personalized 1:1 education on how to advocate for yourself, so your voice is amplified and heard. We will discuss your rights in the hospital as a patient and build your birth plan. I will personally guide you during 1:1 visits through childbirth education essentials. We don't stop at there! We'll discuss prenatal care, pelvic floor/core support, nutrition, birthing positions, postpartum and newborn care. Come with all your questions!

After your birth you will be well cared for with a in-person overnight visit to help you adjust at home and settle in with your new little one. Any care or support needed for your recovery and well-being is provided.

Overnight Postpartum Care 

Overnight care for you and your baby so you can rest, sleep, and recover. This support can be especially valuable during the early weeks of parenthood, when consistent rest and practical help can make a meaningful difference. 

Offering support answering questions, providing education, breastfeeding support, and offering an extra set of hands as your family adjusts. Overnight, I can assist you in finding balance and provide care you see fit. Assistance is provided to establish a soothing bedtime routine, feed your baby or bring them to you for nursing as needed, change and settle them between feedings, and comfort them when they are fussy.

In addition to newborn care, I can assist with baby-related tasks such as washing bottles, folding baby laundry, tidying the nursery, and preparing items you may need for the next day. They may also help with light household organization, dinner preparation, or settling older children so you can focus on your newborn. The goal of overnight postpartum support is to lighten the load of your household, help you feel more confident as a parent, and give you the space to rest, recover, and care for yourself.

Your Empowered Birth: Birth Bestie 1:1 Coaching Session

During this consultation I will help you and your partner prepare for labor with confidence, understand hospital birth policies (and dispel the myths), and learn how to advocate for yourself as your birth unfolds. I will answer your labor prep questions and clarify confusion (hello, era of self-proclaimed social media experts.)

Together, we'll review your existing birth plan or build one from the ground up — crafted to give it the best possible chance of having your birth plan honored by the hospital or birth center. This session helps people understand their legal rights in the hospital, so you and your partner walk into your birth informed, empowered, ready to speak up, and be respected and heard.

As a former L&D/postpartum nurse, I am passionate about supporting your autonomy and birth rights in the hospital. Let me tell you — the hospital doesn't always work in your best interest or even follow their own policies regarding the patient's right to decline care or ask for an alternative to what's offered. We'll discuss your values and preferences and the best way to advocate for the birth you envision and create a individualized plan.
