Pregnancy & Birth Support

Experienced, personalized support for pregnancy, birth preparation, labor, and the transition into parenthood.

Pregnancy and birth can be both deeply meaningful and deeply uncertain. Sometimes what a woman needs isn't more information, but someone experienced who can listen, help her sort through her options, answer the questions that arise, and remind her that she knows more than she thinks she does.

As a former midwife and experienced birthworker, I bring decades of experience supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and the transition into parenthood. My approach is grounded in education, informed choice, trauma-informed care, and respect for each woman's individual experience.

This virtual support is designed for women who want experienced guidance, continuity, and a calm, knowledgeable presence while remaining under the care of their chosen medical or birth-care provider.

Birth Preparation Intensive $375

For women who want focused support preparing for labor and birth, but don't need ongoing or on-call birth support.

This includes three 60-minute virtual sessions tailored to your questions, concerns, and goals. We can explore birth preferences, comfort measures, labor preparation, partner support, communication with your care team, and anything else that would help you feel more prepared for your birth.

No on-call birth support is included with this option.

Pregnancy & Birth Support $1,350

This package is designed to provide continuity throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. It’s not simply a set number of appointments.

My goal is for you to feel prepared, supported, informed, and less alone as you move through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood.

What's Included?

Getting Started - 75–90 minutes

We'll begin by getting to know one another and talking about your pregnancy, hopes, concerns, previous birth experiences, and the kind of support that would be most helpful to you.

Together, we'll:

  • Explore your hopes, concerns, and support needs

  • Discuss your care provider and planned birth setting

  • Begin developing your birth preferences

  • Identify areas where additional education or preparation may be helpful

Three Prenatal Sessions - 60 minutes each

Our prenatal sessions will be guided by your individual needs and may include:

Preparing for Birth
What to expect, informed decision-making, birth preferences, and communicating with your care team.

Preparing for Labor
Comfort measures, positioning, coping strategies, partner support, and ways to create a supportive environment for labor.

Preparing for Parenthood
Postpartum expectations, feeding, rest, support systems, emotional adjustment, and the transition into life with a new baby.

Between-Session Support

Text and email support are available between sessions for questions, resources, and brief check-ins. More involved questions or conversations will be reserved for scheduled sessions so that you receive the time and attention they deserve.

Virtual Birth Support

Beginning at 38 weeks, I will be on-call for your birth and available virtually when labor begins.

During labor, I can provide support by phone or video, offering:

  • Emotional support and encouragement

  • Comfort suggestions and positioning ideas

  • Education and information as questions arise

  • Support in thinking through options and communicating with your care team

  • A calm, experienced presence throughout labor and birth

Virtual support is intended to complement—not replace—the care provided by your physician, midwife, or other birth-care provider.

Early Postpartum Support

Within the first 24 hours after birth, we'll touch base to see how you and your baby are doing and to answer any breastfeeding, newborn, or immediate postpartum questions you may have. This can be by text, phone, or virtual meeting, depending on what feels most useful at the time.

Within the first couple of weeks after birth, we'll schedule a longer postpartum session to:

  • Process your birth experience

  • Talk through the transition home

  • Discuss feeding, rest, emotions, and support

  • Reflect on what went well and what was difficult

  • Identify additional resources or support if needed

A Note About My Role

My role is to provide education, emotional and informational support, preparation, and continuity throughout your pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum experience.

Virtual doula support does not replace medical care, clinical assessment, or the guidance of your physician, midwife, or other healthcare provider. I do not provide medical diagnosis or treatment through these sessions.

A Place to Start

Not sure what kind of support would be most helpful to you? Let's talk.

A Place to Start is a complimentary 15-minute conversation where we can talk about where you are in your pregnancy, what you're looking for, and whether Pregnancy & Birth Support feels like a good fit for you.

There's no obligation to book a package. Sometimes a short conversation is all you need to clarify what kind of support would feel most helpful.
