As a birth doula, I help women have informed, empowering birth experiences.
- I offer informational support by providing evidence-based, unbiased information so my clients can make informed decisions about their care.
- I offer physical support and comfort measures, such as different laboring positions, and hands-on massage and counter-pressure, to help a woman cope in labor.
- I offer non-judgemental, emotional support to both the woman and her partner as they navigate the journey of welcoming their child into the world.
I support and respect the normalcy of birth, but I also understand that changes may occur. I have experience with planned home, birth center and hospital births, including drug-free hospital birth, high-risk birth, breech presentation, planned and unplanned cesarean birth, and planned epidural births. I have experience with many OB's and midwives in NYC.
My birth doula services include the following:
- Two prenatal visits to discuss your birth preferences and how I can best support you
- Discussion and practice of different laboring positions and comfort measures
- Breastfeeding basics
- Ongoing phone and email support from the moment you hire me
- On call 24 hours a day from week 37 to week 42 of your pregnancy
- Continuous emotional, physical, informational and partner support during the labor, birth and in the immediate postpartum
- Help with initiating baby's first latch (if you are breastfeeding)
- A postpartum follow-up visit to ensure infant feeding is going well, provide additional resources and make referrals, if necessary
I promise to treat you with absolute respect and kindness and I will work to ensure that you have a fully informed birth experience.
I offer my birth doula services to families in Brooklyn, Manhattan and some parts of Queens. The fee for my services, explained above, is $1500. Private prenatal yoga sessions can also be arranged, if desired. If you are interested in my services, please contact me and we can set up a free consultation to meet and see if we are a good match for each other. I encourage you to meet with as many doulas as you feel comfortable meeting, to ensure you find the right match for you.
