I am a doula because I revere the genius of our bodily design, because I recognize the strength of our will and instincts as birthing humans, and because I believe in individual choice and body autonomy above all. I am a doula because after ten years as an infant nanny and almost as many studying reproductive rights, sexual health, and counseling, I found the crux of my academic and caretaking passions in perinatal care.
As a birth doula, it is my goal to help you have as close to your envisioned birth as is possible, and also to support you in continuing to claim your experience if the plot line shifts a bit.
My birth packages begin during pregnancy and include:
* 2 in-depth prenatal visits
*resource sharing, referral, informational support, childbirth education
* email and phone access for all questions and conversation from date of hire
* round the clock on call presence beginning 2 weeks before your EDD, until your baby arrives
* in person birth support from the moment you decide you need me until your baby arrives
*1 postpartum visit/storytelling/debrief
