How We Work Together
I offer birth doula services, virtual coaching, childbirth education, postpartum doula services and placenta encapsulation. Please read below for more information on each offering. Once you review my services, feel free to schedule a consultation so that we can get to know each other and discuss any of your questions.
I believe that doula care should be accessible to all, I accept Medi-Cal and Kaiser insurance. For all others I offer a sliding scale between $2,000 - $3,200. Please note that there are limitations to insurance coverage which may look different than what is listed below. This information is discussed during our consultation.

Power and Joy in Birthing | Birth Doula Services
Birth doula services includes prenatal, birth, and postpartum care.
Prenatal Care
Mutual trust is built over approximately 6-8 prenatal visits. Key offerings during these sessions include:
​
Childbirth Education - we will review everything from the last trimester through the postpartum period.
Nutritional Information: learn what macro and micro nutrients you need to support a healthy pregnancy.
Practice Coping Techniques: practice a variety of coping techniques that you can use in labor.
Write Your Birth Plan: Get help developing and reviewing your birth plan and learn why creating your own plan is better than following a hospital checklist.
Lactation 411: learn the fundamentals of lactation and feeding your baby so that you all get off to the best start.
Continuous care: text, call, email between visits, ask questions, share thoughts, and get support when you need it.
The Birth
I use a variety of techniques to provide physical and emotional support during labor and birth. I will come to you when you need me and stay until after the birth of your baby. I attend births at homes, birth centers, and hospitals.
Postpartum Care
Support is provided over four sessions during the first 4-6 weeks postpartum. Care is customized based on your specific needs and may include breastfeeding support, belly binding, emotional support, a closing ceremony, and more.
​
*As a safety precaution during the COVID-19 Pandemic most prenatal and some postpartum sessions will be conducted virtually.
