Intake Session (private/virtual)
A 1.5-hour opportunity for the three of us to get to know each client individually. This virtual session is a deep dive into your physical, mental and emotional history, as well as your hopes and goals for your pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. You will leave with a plan for optimizing your pregnancy through nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and resources specific to your needs.
Prenatal Support via email and phone
We are available by phone or email for additional support during your pregnancy..
Prenatal education workshop
This 6-hour in-person small group workshop in the 2nd trimester will help you gain a better understanding of the anatomy and physiology of birth. We will rehearse coping techniques, labor positions and effective partner support. We will also spend time learning more about bodily autonomy and informed consent as well as how to best communicate with care providers with an emphasis on calm but active role in decision making.
Postpartum Education workshop
This 6-hour small group workshop focuses on all things postpartum. We discuss lactation, birth recovery, nutrition, newborn behaviors and setting boundaries with loved ones. We will also explore common challenges that may arise relating to your relationships and your personal identity. This small group setting offers time and space for reflection, sharing, and processing.
37 week birth check-in (private/virtual)
This 90-minute call is a chance to tie up any loose planning threads and discuss what you are experiencing emotionally and physically in the last weeks of pregnancy.
Birth Support
The doula on-call joins you in active labor at your home or at your birth location. Our calendar allows our clients to know in advance which doula is the primary on-call doula for the week. The other two doulas in the collective are available as back-ups.
On-Call 24/7
Continuous Labor Support
We each draw on years of birth experience, knowledge and education to provide hands-on support such as massage, counter pressure, and optimal fetal positioning techniques. Throughout the birth process we may offer suggestions for coping, breathing, and relaxation, relevant evidence-based information, and reassurance to help you navigate the labyrinth of birth.

Your doula will stay with you through the golden hour to ensure your baby is feeding well and to answer any questions that may arise.
