Private Doula Support
Birth is not just a medical event.
It is a full-body life changing initiation.
My role as your doula isn’t only to support you physically, emotionally, mentally, and with nervous-system-informed strategies, so you feel prepared, grounded, and deeply connected to your inner rhythm throughout labor, birth, and early postpartum.
My role is to assist you in progressing the process of labor, to ensure my perceptive skills remain keen so that your only responsibility is to remain tuned into you and your baby so that you can articulate your needs to your birth team with confidence and clarity.
This is not cookie-cutter support.
This is intentional preparation, strategic education, nervous-system regulation, and hands-on bodywork designed to help you move through birth and the remainder of you maternal journey with steadiness and confidence.
What Makes My Doula Support Different
Holistic Life Doula practice.
I blend:
traditional doula support
maternal-child health clinical knowledge
movement-based labor preparation
full-body tension assessment
stretch and flexibility coaching
relaxation + nervous system regulation practices
birth education that helps you understand what your body is doing
self-efficacy + behavior change skills training
postpartum recovery support
Because your body doesn’t just need encouragement.
Your body needs a plan.
Your nervous system needs safety.
Your mind needs clarity.
And your spirit needs permission to soften.
Your Doula Package Includes
Three Prenatal Sessions
You will receive one virtual session and two in-person sessions, each designed to build on the next.
Prenatal Support
1. Birth Clarity Session
(Virtual)
Learn the labor process in a way that makes sense to your body.
This session is designed to help you truly understand labor—not just “what happens,” but why it happens, what progress looks like, and how to work with your body instead of against it.
We will cover:
what providers are truly evaluating to gag whether or not interventions are required
how the process of labor unfolds from the early beginnings to the sweet end
what helps labor progress (physiologically + medically)
how to recognize labor stagnation
strategies that support dilation and descent
how to own your experience and when to surrender as needed
how to prepare for common medical pathways (induction, epidural, etc.)
This is where your mind becomes calm because it finally understands the process.
2. Tuning Into You for Birth
(In-Person)
Full-body tension assessment + relaxation + movement-based labor preparation.
This is your signature prenatal mind-body session.
In this intimate in-home experience, we identify where your body holds tension and how that tension may affect labor comfort, pelvic mobility, breath, and endurance.
This session includes:
full-body tension scan + assessment
guided relaxation and nervous system downshifting
movement-based labor preparation
positioning and rhythm practices to support pelvic opening
breathwork + body awareness tools
birth strategy planning based on your unique needs
Together, we craft a labor preparation plan that reflects your body’s natural rhythm—so you can move through labor with more ease, confidence, and control.
3. Moving Together for Birth
(In-Person)
Partner-based preparation for labor support, comfort, and connection.
This session is for you and your designated support person (partner, spouse, friend, family member, etc.).
This is where your support person learns what to DO—not just what to say.
We practice:
hands-on comfort techniques
supportive counterpressure + positioning
movement sequences for labor progression
emotional reassurance tools
how to protect your peace in the birth space
perceptive skill building exercises to notice what you don’t
communication strategies so your needs are clearly expressed
This session is powerful because it transforms your support person into an active part of your birth team—not a bystander.
On-Call Birth Support
37 Weeks Through Birth + Early Postpartum
I provide on-call availability beginning at 37 weeks through your birth because once baby’s lungs approach the standard age of maturity, anything can happen.
Once labor begins, I provide continuous labor support until birth and the immediate postpartum transition.
My goal, at home and at the hospital, is to help you feel:
safe
supported
grounded
informed
emotionally held
physically comforted
This includes comfort measures such as positioning, massage, breath support, and calm guidance.
Postpartum Support
Birth doesn’t end when baby arrives.
That’s when integration begins.
You will receive three postpartum touchpoints to support recovery, regulation, and the emotional transition into motherhood.
1. Postpartum Mind-Body Tune-Up
(In-Person | 0–1 Week)
Recovery support for your body, nervous system, and emotional reset.
This session supports:
nervous system stabilization
tension release and body decompression
gentle recovery guidance
relaxation support
restoring a sense of calm inside your body
This is not about “bouncing back.”
This is about coming back home to yourself.
Your body has just done something extraordinary—and it deserves to be cared for like it.
2. Postpartum Check-In
(In-Person | Around 2 Weeks)
Support as the reality of postpartum begins to settle in.
This visit is for:
emotional processing
postpartum recovery assessment (non-medical)
breastfeeding adjustment support (as a nurse & doula)
practical newborn rhythm support
gentle guidance for sleep, nourishment, and self-care
You are not meant to figure everything out alone.
3. Postpartum Integration Check-In
(Virtual | Around 4 Weeks)
Preparing you for the 6-week transition and beyond.
This session supports:
emotional integration
planning for your 6-week postpartum appointment
postpartum self-assessment and care planning
discussing next steps if you desire continued support
At this point, many parents are expected to “be fine.”
But this is often where depletion begins.
This check-in helps you stay ahead of overwhelm.
My Role as Your Doula
A doula is trained to provide emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.
As your doula, I will:
provide calm reassurance and steady presence
offer comfort measures and positioning
guide relaxation and coping techniques
support your birth environment and emotional safety
help you and your partner feel prepared and confident
I do not replace your medical provider. I do not perform clinical tasks such as cervical exams, blood pressure checks, or fetal heart monitoring, and I do not make medical decisions for you.

A Few Important Notes
This package includes prenatal education + preparation sessions, on-call labor support, and postpartum support.
If an emergency prevents me from attending your birth, a trusted back-up doula will be arranged whenever possible.
If labor progresses too quickly for arrival, postpartum support still remains fully available.

If you’re interested in doula support, the next step is a consultation where we’ll discuss your due date window, birth preferences, and whether this package is aligned with your needs.

As your doula, my nursing perceptive skills go where I go to enhance how you communicate with your birth team and support you in clearly advocating for yourself throughout the process.
My approach blends traditional doula support with body-based preparation, movement, and nervous system regulation. Instead of only focusing on the birth day, we prepare your mind and body intentionally beforehand, and we support recovery afterward—so your birth experience feels more grounded, informed, and emotionally supported.
-
No. I do not provide medical care, diagnose conditions, or make medical decisions. Your provider manages the clinical side of your pregnancy and birth.
My role is to support your comfort, emotional experience, education, and physical preparation—helping you feel confident and supported throughout the process.
-
I provide doula support exclusively for hospital births.
My specialty is supporting families who desire an unmedicated, low-intervention hospital birth, using movement, comfort techniques, nervous system regulation, and strategic preparation.
At this time, I do not attend home births or birth center births.
This allows me to provide highly focused, consistent care within the environment I know best and where I have the strongest expertise.
-
Yes. My specialty is supporting families who desire an unmedicated, low-intervention hospital birth. My preparation style is rooted in movement, comfort techniques, nervous system regulation, and physiologic labor support.
If interventions become necessary during labor, I remain calm, grounded support and help you navigate the experience with clarity and emotional steadiness.
That covers epidural without advertising epidural.
This experience is not designed for planned home births or birth center births. Because of my specialization in hospital-based physiologic birth support, my care is focused exclusively in that environment.
-
Yes. Many families still desire a low-intervention, unmedicated birth even when induction is part of the plan.
I support induction clients by helping you prepare for:
assisting you in reduce potentially unmedically necessary snowball of interventions
staying grounded in a hospital environment
comfort measures and movement strategies
coping tools for intensity
partner support and positioning
maintaining a calm nervous system even with medical pacing
My focus remains the same: supporting your body and mind through labor with as much physiologic flow as possible.
-
My specialty is supporting families preparing for an unmedicated, low-intervention hospital birth.
If a cesarean becomes necessary during labor, I remain grounded support and will assist you through the emotional transition as much as the hospital allows. Policies vary depending on the facility and staff.
At this time, I do not take planned cesarean clients as my primary service focus.
-
Most clients book between 20–32 weeks, but earlier is always better if you want full preparation and more availability.
Because I take a limited number of on-call clients, I recommend reaching out as soon as you know you want support.
-
I begin on-call availability at 37 weeks and remain on-call until your baby is born, with postpartum support immediately following.
-
If labor begins before my on-call window, I will still make every effort to support you if I am available, but full availability is not guaranteed before 37 weeks.
-
If your labor progresses too quickly for me to arrive, your postpartum support visits still remain fully available. Fast births happen, and you will still be held and supported through recovery and integration.
-
Yes. If an emergency prevents me from attending your birth, I will coordinate with a trusted back-up doula whenever possible.
-
Your package includes three prenatal sessions:
Birth Clarity Session (Virtual)
Tuning Into You for Birth (In-Person)
Moving Together for Birth (In-Person partner session)
Each session is designed to build your confidence and preparation step-by-step.
-
That is completely okay.
The “Moving Together” session can be done with any support person you trust—friend, sister, mother, doula partner, etc. If you truly have no one, we can adjust the plan and focus on solo preparation.
-
Yes. During your Tuning Into You for Birth session, we craft a birth preparation strategy and communication plan that reflects your needs, preferences, and comfort goals.
-
Yes. Postpartum support is a core part of my package.
You will receive:
a 0–1 week in-person postpartum visit
a 2-week in-person postpartum visit
a 4-week virtual check-in
These visits focus on recovery, nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and guidance through the transition into motherhood.
-
No. My postpartum support focuses on you—your healing, your nervous system, your physical recovery, your emotional wellbeing, and your adjustment into your new identity.
Because when you are supported, the entire home benefits.
-
I provide general breastfeeding encouragement and emotional support, but I am not an IBCLC. If specialized lactation support is needed, I can refer you to trusted lactation professionals.
-
Yes. Payment plans may be available depending on your due date window. We’ll discuss options during your consultation.
-
Doula services are typically self-pay, but some clients are able to use HSA/FSA funds or request reimbursement depending on their insurance plan.
I can provide an invoice upon request.
-
The first step is a consultation call. If we both feel aligned, your due date window will be reserved with a deposit and signed agreement.
