Birth Doula

The Works

  • Education is an essential part of preparation. Included in this package are up to 10 hours of individualized, private birth, lactation, and newborn care education offered in your home.
  • We will meet twice before the birth to plan and practice for the big day (or night, as is usually the case).
  • (2) 75-minute prenatal massage sessions in your home.
  • I am on-call for the “birth month”, two weeks before your estimated due date and two weeks after. I will attend you at home and at the hospital, leaving quietly when you and baby are settled-in.
  • Two aftercare sessions are included. Typically, I visit you the next day, either in hospital or at home, and another session at home after that.
  • (1) Postpartum massage in your home, offered between weeks 3 and 6.
  • As a CLEC I am trained to assist you to establish breastfeeding, troubleshoot common issues, and help get you in touch with other lactation resources, if necessary.
  • Additional postpartum packages may be purchased before or after baby’s arrival. Early booking is suggested to secure your spot.

This package is offered at $1600, made payable in full by week 36. An initial deposit of $800 is required at the time of contract.
