Services

  • A free initial consultation to discuss my birth doula services and determine if I am a "good fit" for you.
  • Two prenatal visits to discuss your birth plans, answer any questions you have concerning childbirth, discuss risks and benefits of common birth interventions, and practice some of the positions and techniques we’ll use during labor.
  • Availability by phone or e-mail during your pregnancy for support and information.
  • A "lending library" of books and videos that you are free to borrow from me (one book or video at a time, please). See my Resources page for a list of available titles.
  • A Community Resource List of support organizations in the Rochester, MN, area for women, moms, parents, families and children.
  • Continuous labor support. I will come to you when you want and stay with you through the birth of your baby and up to two hours afterward.
  • I will help with initial breastfeeding, and make sure you are comfortable before I leave to let you spend time with your new family member.
  • A follow-up visit within four weeks of your birth, if desired, to talk about your birth experience and address any concerns you have with breastfeeding or your newborn.
