Birth Doula Support

The time has come to welcome a new person into the world—and to prepare for all the work that entails. As a doula I can hold space for all that this deep change brings up in you—the joy, the fear, the doubt, the excitement—as well as help you plan for labor, birth, and the postpartum days that follow.

My goal as your doula is to ensure you are educated and informed before the big day, open space to honor your emotional experience, and prepare you for the postpartum days that lie ahead.

What My Birth Support Includes

  • Creating containers to be with your emotional, mental, somatic and spiritual experiences.

  • Providing education around the process of labor and birth, pain management options, comfort measures, and other areas of interest.

  • Exploring your preferences for your labor and for your postpartum experience; assistance with helping to communicate your preferences to your care and support teams.

  • Affirming your basic right to informed consent and full choice; reviewing your wishes for advocacy and practicing advocacy beforehand.

  • Creating or continuing a practice of documenting yourself and your pregnancy journey; photographing you throughout your pregnancy and birth if desired.

  • Providing educational resources in physical and digital formats; providing referrals to relevant birthwork professionals or organizations.

  • Attendance at your birth, providing emotional support and physical support with comfort measures.

 FAQs

  • For private pay clients, my rate is as follows:

    • $200 per prenatal session

    • $900 for support during birth

    I require a minimum of one prenatal session to be booked in addition to your birth so that I can understand your needs, desires and birth plan before labor begins. Sessions are between 1.5-3 hours long.

    Sliding scale spots are available as capacity allows. Please indicate on the consultation form if you are seeking a sliding scale spot.

  • At this time I do not take private or commercial insurance.

  • I do take Medi-Cal insurance! I currently take straight Medi-Cal (for folks who have Medi-Cal but do not have a managed health care plan such as Kaiser or Partnership). I will soon be able to take Kaiser and Partnership Medi-Cal insurances.

  • I do not currently offer extended postpartum support. Each client receives two free 1-hour postpartum check ins (in person or virtually) to review the birth experience and assess if additional support or referrals are needed.

    If you are interested in a postpartum doula, I recommend Imani Lopez of Now You Know a Doula.
