Prenatal Home visits allow for questions and answers, birth planning, childbirth education, sibling preparation activities, demonstration and use of comfort measures that may include use of birth balls, massage, aromatherapy and stress reduction exercises.
Birth Support is provided in an individualized manner, which may include your Doula coming to your home during the early stages of labor and accompanying you to the hospital directly. Or your Doula may arrive at the hospital at a time or stage of labor determined by you to assist with comfort measures, emotional and physical encouragement and support. Our primary commitment is to ensuring that the birthing woman and her family remain comfortable enabling their desired birth experience(s).
Initial Postpartum Support begins right after the birth of the baby and includes breastfeeding assistance, and assistance in recovery and the facilitation of family integration such as photography, and the creation of other memories.
