Birth Plan

Create & Exectue

As a Doula, I prioritize aligning with your preferences for your birth experience. We’ll discuss your hopes, explore options, and ensure you feel informed and empowered in your choices, whether it's a natural birth, hospital, or home setting.

The Birth

Prepare, Educate & Support

Offering guidance and reassurance at every step of the way is essential, ensuring that you feel supported and confident in your abilities. I aim to create a personalized and comforting environment tailored to your specific needs and desires.

I also focus on creating a calming environment, where you can feel fully present in the moment. Encouragement and reminders of your strength are vital parts of my role, ensuring you feel empowered. We can explore relaxation techniques, visualization, and other methods that align with your preferences, helping to make the experience as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.

In addition, I'm committed to building a trusting relationship with you and your family, allowing open communication and flexibility as your needs evolve. By staying attuned to your desires and providing consistent support, I aim to make this journey a joyful and memorable one.

Together, we can embrace this transformative experience with courage and joy, empowering you to make informed decisions and cherish the unique moments that come with bringing new life into the world.

PostPartum

PostPartum Support

Each family has unique needs, and I am committed to tailoring my support to best suit your individual situation. My goal is to provide a nurturing, compassionate environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Postpartum Support typically encompasses assistance for:

  • Breastfeeding, pumping & bottle feeding

  • Physical postpartum support for mother (healing/feeling comfortable)

  • Emotional support for both mother and father

  • Infant Massage

  • Recommendations for safe baby products (creams, soaps, wipes, diapers etc.)

  • Swaddling

  • Baby wearing

  • Bathing baby

  • Along with various other encounters you might face

By fostering open communication and offering practical advice, I strive to ease the stress of this transition, allowing you to focus on the joy and wonder of welcoming your new baby. My commitment is to walk alongside you, offering reassurance and encouragement, as you embark on this incredible journey into parenthood.

Breastfeeding

During the crucial first week of breastfeeding, I stay close to the mother to support her while she’s establishing her milk supply. I provide guidance on proper latch techniques and positioning to ensure both comfort and effectiveness. My role is to offer gentle support and encouragement, helping to ease any concerns and build confidence in this new skill. We work together to overcome common challenges, such as engorgement or soreness, and I share tips on how to maintain a healthy milk supply.

Throughout this time, I also focus on the mother's well-being, reminding her to rest, hydrate, and nourish herself. Emotional support is equally important, as many new mothers experience a range of feelings during this period. I am there to listen, offer reassurance, and celebrate successes, no matter how small. I also appreciate educating the father during this period, as he often feels helpless in the breastfeeding journey. In reality, he has numerous roles he can play to support both mama and baby.

By fostering a nurturing and supportive environment, I aim to make the breastfeeding journey a positive experience, laying a strong foundation for the bond between mother and baby.
