What is a Doula? She is an experienced labor companion who provides continuous emotional support and assistance before, during, and after birth. It has been proven that a Doula can help to shorten first-time labors, decrease cesarean sections and the need for pain medication, help fathers participate with confidence, and lead to more successful breastfeeding relationships.

I am available to meet with all potential clients for an introductory meeting. There is no charge and you will
  be under no obligation or pressure to use my services. I will describe my services more fully and answer
   any questions you may have allowing you to decide how I can best support your family. I am more than
    happy to work out a payment plan and am open to discussing trades and reduced fees if payment is an
     obstacle for you. Money should not be a barrier for you in having the support you deserve at your birth.

                       My fee for the complete package is $350. The first half is due upon signing the contract. This ensures
     your spot on my calendar. The second half is due at our post-partum visit.
