Birth Doula Support
As doulas, we provide education and support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Throughout pregnancy, we get to know you and your family so that your support is tailored to who you are and what you need. We help you discover and develop your birth vision. Then we will discuss how we as a team can help accomplish that vision. We also provide evidence based education on the birth process, common situations you may experience, and much more.
During labor, either Stephanie or Sydney will provide continuous support at your home and/or the hospital or birthing center. When you need us, we’ll be there! Holistically, this consists of physical comfort measures, emotional coping, helping you understand and navigate the information and decisions being presented to you, and supporting the whole family unit.
After birth, we will come visit you at your home to support your early postpartum period. This visit can include a wide variety of support - education, breastfeeding help, newborn care, processing the birth, and more. Whatever you need, we are happy to help.
Whatever your birth vision,
you deserve support!

Sliding Scale
Sliding Scale and YoungLives: You decide what works best for your budget, no questions asked. We do this for a few reasons - 1) it allows you the support of two doulas while allowing both doulas to make a sustainable wage, 2) it expands access to doulas for families with a variety of financial situations, and 3) we serve a local group for teen moms called YoungLives and we provide doula services free of charge. The sliding scale allows us to continue to serve this vulnerable population of young women.
NICU/CICU Doula Support
Providing education and support to families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and NICU/CICU journey.
We meet for a prenatal meeting before your due date (or scheduled birth) to get to know you and talk about what is important to you and your partner/family, what you're excited, nervous, and fearful about, options you have and comfort measures that may help you, and how you’re wanting my support after baby(ies) are here and then put it all together to see how we as a team can help make it happen! If we connect after the baby is already born, then we will still discuss your goals and needs at the beginning of care. I am also available to you via call or text throughout the entire process.
After you have your baby, I provide support to you and your family at your home and the NICU/CICU. Examples of ways I can support you and your partner/family include:
processing your pregnancy, birth, and NICU/CICU stay
helping you understand your baby’s diagnosis and status
helping you understand and navigate hospital terminology and decisions
holding space for emotional support
spending time with your baby when you can’t be at the hospital with them - reading to them, holding them, kangaroo care, updating you, etc
light housework and meal prep
celebrating milestones and memory making for special moments
breastfeeding/pumping/feeding support
helping keep extended family updated
postpartum healing tips
newborn/baby help when you bring them home
bereavement support
Bottom line - I’m here for you in any way you need me!
You don’t need to
walk this journey alone!
