Birth Doula Support
for seacoast families and beyond
You are unique. Let’s chat and figure out what your best birth looks like.
Birth doula support isn’t one-size-fits-all. You might want prenatal support, a doula present at your birth, and postpartum support. Or you might want comprehensive prenatal support, access to me via text/phone/video during your birth, and postpartum support. Or perhaps you just want a few 1:1 sessions to do some planning and build your confidence. A free consultation can help us figure out how to best support you on your journey.
Looking back, I am surprised that I actually think Taylor was most helpful in the week leading up to my birth. I was almost two weeks overdue and had prodromal labor for four nights before actually going into labor. Taylor was a fantastic calming and grounding presence and sounding board for deciding if I wanted any medical intervention as I approached 42 weeks.
She led our conversations in a way that allowed us as a couple to get to know each other better with regards to the experience that was waiting for us. She became a member of our team. Naturally, we understood which role each of us would take on, and I felt free and entitled to put forward my preferences, my needs, my requests (something that on normal circumstances I generally struggle with). Nothing was judged or twisted nor held as an unbreakable commitment.
Her support and encouragement during the prenatal period was exactly what I needed to relieve my fear and anxiety. By the time my daughter was ready to be born, birth did not seem like such a scary, unknown thing.
Why Hire a Birth Doula?
Pre-Birth Planning to Relieve Stress & Fear
Whether you need help understanding your options, assistance fleshing out your birth vision, a sympathetic ear to listen to your concerns and challenges, or ideas about different labor coping techniques, I will be there. We’ll feel comfortable with each other by the time you give birth and we’ll be a team working towards a common goal.
Relaxation & Focus
I will help you plan and create the intimate environment in which birth can progress best. I use music, lighting, the psychology of alliance (building a strong team with healthcare providers), nourishment, and anything else you hope to add to your birthing space to feel safe and strong. If you’re birthing in a hospital, I have experience taking a sterile hospital room and turning it into a comfortable birthing suite.
A More Comfortable & Easy Birth
My knowledge and years of experience help me see the bigger picture. I can offer ideas for positions and techniques that can allow your labor to progress unhindered. I am an expert in physical and emotional support for laboring people and their partners.
Confidence to be Flexible in the Moment
I often say that birth is a mystery because when allowed to unfold, it will take its own course. This doesn’t mean that you can’t still be in control of the decision-making process. As your doula, I will make sure that you receive as much information as you want in order to make the best choice for you. No matter what happens during your birth, you will have my continuous support.
A Confident & Helpful Partner
In my experience, partners have the amazing ability to perform well under pressure. For many partners, this is the first time being a part of the birthing process and everything is new. Partners I’ve supported are often incredibly relieved that I can provide suggestions and reassurance throughout the labor and delivery. As part of your team, I will support your partner to play whatever role you are both hoping for.
Postpartum Care to Get You Off to the Best Start
Being a new parent is joyful, but it can also be overwhelming. During the postpartum time, I’ll be checking in with you to debrief your birth experience, talk through your changing emotions, offer answers to questions about parenting a newborn and caring for yourself, and share community referrals. I can also help you establish a satisfying feeding relationship with your baby.
Traditional Birth Doula Support
Prenatal, birth, and postpartum support from me or one my my team members. Perfect if you want a fully in-person supported experience.
Virtual Birth Doula Support
