Postpartum Doula Services
​
The transition to parenthood is a deeply personal experience and each parent-to-be has her/his own set of hopes and expectations. My goal is to support and guide parents in their journey in becoming strong, competent, capable mothers and fathers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.
Consultation (Free)
​
During this first meeting we will have an initial chat about what your needs and goals are and how I can help. We will go over what to expect during our time working together and go over the contract. This can take place at your house or we can meet at your favorite coffee shop in town. If hired prenatally, I do offer a free prenatal visit.
