Holistic Birth Package

2-3 Prenatal Appointments

During these home visits, I carefully listen to family’s emotional, interpersonal, and health histories to determine how I can best serve as their doula. I offer :

• Education about the birthing process 

• Evidence based care recommendations 

• Movement strategies for pregnancy and labor  

• Movement and positional techniques to optimize fetal positioning and pelvic space during labor

• Mindfulness strategies for childbirth and early parenting 

• Discussion of common interventions in the hospital setting and ways to avoid them 

• Self-advocacy tools to optimize care 

• Strategies to prepare for the postpartum period

Prenatal visits last 2-3 hours. I cherish the opportunity to get to know every family deeply before their birthing time arrives. I am also available for phone or email support during your pregnancy.

24 Hours On Call Support From 37-42 Weeks

I am available 24/7 to answer questions, provide emotional resiliency, and offer support through early labor until it is time for me to join you at your home or birth location. 

Continuous Labor Support

Once a client is in labor and requests my physical presence, I offer continuous labor support to them and their birth partner(s) until baby is born. As your doula, I will guide you and your loved ones through the journey that is childbirth. My support includes advocacy, movement suggestions, hands on support, caring and fierce affirmations, and the deep knowing that birth is a normal and natural process. I stay with you for several hours after your birth to clean your birth space and ensure that your transition to recovery and parenthood is peaceful and gentle. 

1-2 Postpartum Visits

Our postpartum visit is a powerful time to bring our doula/client relationship full circle. During this visit I offer:

• Healing Ayurvedic soup to help nourish you in the early days of new parenthood

• Space to remember and reflect on your birth

• Lactation support

• Postpartum doula care to help ease your transition to parenthood

• Specialized Referrals

  • I work closely with Philadelphia’s most trusted lactation consultants, pelvic floor specialists, chiropractors, and mental health professionals and make personal recommendations based on each family’s individual needs.
