Total Birth Coverage...
This unique relationship begins with a phone interview, followed by a personal consultation. Many people have different goals and beliefs regarding the birth experience.

Emergency Doula Service:
Designed for the last minute desire for doula support
If you haven't planned for doula services and have a last minute desire for support, I offer emergency doula coverage for you. Many time parents find that choices & decisions in birth can be more complicated than they anticipated, or very little support was available to them for questions/comfort measures, and reassurance. This option is an hourly fee and though availability is likely, it does NOT guarantee you a doula.
-Is your partner suddenly not able to attend the birth?
-Did you and your partner decide last minute that you need the support of a doula?
*Booking your doula early is really important to develop a relationship of trust and truly help the family to feel confident in their decision to hire the doula. It also ensures that you will have guaranteed support at your birthing time. But in the event that you need a doula at the last minute, I encourage you to reach out and see what is available.
