Birth Services

Welcome to Coeur de Doula Birth Services.

Being a parent is a difficult endeavor. Whether you’re new to this or have already experienced the joy of parenthood, there are so many unknowns and unanswered questions.

On top of this, the fear of giving birth is prevalent. For many years, we’ve been brainwashed by movies, books and imagery that have depicted birth as a gory nightmare and the worst time of our life.

Lastly, welcoming a new member to the family is a huge milestone that should not be taken too lightly or underestimated.

I’m here to help.

A doula is a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth. Studies have shown that when doulas attend birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.

My package includes:

  • A minimum of 2 prenatal appointments based on your needs

  • Assistance with your Birth Plan preparation

  • On call at anytime from the day you sign the agreement, I’ll be available by email/text/phone to answer any questions a/o concerns during your pregnancy and after the birth

  • Continuous support during labor and birth until 1 to 2 hours after baby’s arrival

  • Aromatherapy to alleviate pain and discomfort during labor

  • Baby’s feeding support to establish breastfeeding as soon as the baby arrives

  • Professional photos during labor, birth and delivery if desired without compromising your support

  • Postpartum follow-up visit to address any questions you may have as it relates to baby care, breastfeeding and birthing mother’s self-care

  • List of local and professional resources that I trust in supporting you throughout your incredible journey!

  • Two Prenatal Appointments

    During pregnancy I get to know you and your partner through 2 prenatal appointments, usually lasting 1 - 2 hours each.

    During these appointments I share with you my birth doula curriculum, assist you in creating your birth plan and gain a solid understanding of your desires for birth.

  • On Call Time

    I’m on call from the time you sign up with me. I reserve your estimated due date in my schedule from 37 - 42 weeks and am available via phone and email at any time for the support you need your entire pregnancy.

  • During Birth

    During your birthing time I provide continuous support that begins as soon as you want it. One of the unique aspects of a doula is the continuous support. I provide emotional support and physical comfort measures and assist the partner in providing the birthing mom just what she needs. In the event of a very extended birthing time (over 24 hours) I may take a short rest or suggest one of my partners join you so that you have the very best care.

    Based on the options that best suit your needs and that we discussed during your prenatal appointments, I will bring aromatherapy products and props to promote relaxation during labor.

  • Establishing Feeding After Birth

    I stay with you after the birth until you have established breastfeeding, usually during your Golden Hour.

  • Postpartum Appointment

    I will keep in touch via phone the first few days and schedule a postpartum appointment to review your birth experience and answer any questions or concerns. This appointment usually lasts 1 - 2 hours.

    I like to offer a complimentary gift bag of skincare products to accommodate your little one’s arrival!

  • Birth & Delivery Photography

    As an avid photographer myself and whenever I’m not needed, I’d be honored to take professional photos of your very special moment!
