Doula services
There are so many reasons why you might want somebody outside your family to support your birth.
Generally speaking, many people living in our current moment in time are no longer familiar, or comfortable, with witnessing birth firsthand, what to expect, and how to hold and regulate yourself as you seek to support a labouring woman.
When I support couples and families welcoming a new baby into their lives, I seek to do just that; witness, support, and facilitate physiologic birth, bring a sense of calm and regulation, thanks to the experience I have acquired, and use my experience to encourage and inform every step of the way.
birth support
Feminine support for the birth of your baby.
- Two 2-hour planned prenatal connection & education sessions
- Monthly phone check-ins from when you book birth support through the duration of your pregnancy
- Text, phone, and email support in pregnancy and for 6 weeks after birth
- Material booklet of relevant and helpful birth education resources
- 24/7 on-call support from 37 weeks gestation until your baby’s birthday (potentially 42+ weeks)
- Birth witness and support from whenever active labour begins or you have called me to assist, up until after you are settled following the birth of your baby (typically 2-4 hours after birth)
- Two 2-hour postpartum visits, one during the first 3 days after birth, and a second visit within the first 6 weeks. This visit could include a debrief of the birth if desired.
- Mother care package of lovely supportive goodies curated by Emma
If desired, clients may choose to forego the two 2-hour planned prenatal connection and education sessions and instead choose to add the full Birth & Beyond course, at the rate of $300.
