As your Birth Doula my main focus is on you. I'm here to provide emotional and physical support before, during and after the birth of your new little one. My role in your journey varies from client to client.
For some, doula work is about advocacy, helping mom to identify their wishes with their caregiver when she is unable to speak for herself. For others it is simply being present and holding the space, bearing witness to your birth experience. For most the roles are multiple and will differ with each experience.
Generally I perform the following, depending on what you are looking for.
Massage, relaxation and other comfort measures
Positioning and dancing
Information on options available
Reassurance and encouragement
Support
A listening ear
My extra services include:
Childbirth Classes
Placentophagy*
Lactation Counseling
Belly Casting
Photography (understand they are not professional, they'd be done with my digital camera and then placed on a CD and given to you.
Emotional Counseling beyond birth. (PTSD, Stress, Anxiety, moving through these and finding the help you need)
Esthetician {waxing} Services
My key responsibilities to you is reliability, honesty and support. I am here to give you all the information you need to help you make informed decisions.
