Labor and Birth Support: $1000

2 prenatal meetings to discuss your birth preferences and create a birth plan, review stages of labor and laboring positions, and determine how I can best support you during the birth. We’ll also touch on preparing for postpartum and talk through any anxiety you may be feeling.

You’ll have unlimited phone/email/text support from the time you hire me through the 4th trimester. I’m here to answer any questions, provide evidence-based education, and suggest resources or referrals as needed!

I will be “on-call” for you starting at 37 weeks. During your labor and delivery, I will provide continuous physical and emotional support and advocate for you to have the birth you want. I will remain with you for up to 2 hours postpartum to help you get settled.

We’ll have 1 postpartum visit within your first few weeks home. This visit will be guided by your specific needs, but some things we can cover include processing your experience, wellness check-in for everyone in the household, and support for feeding and basic newborn care.

Postpartum Support: $30/hour, minimum 3 hours

These visits will be tailored to your unique day-to-day needs. We will begin each one by discussing the last 12-24 hours and coming up with a basic plan for support. This may include:

  • Non-judgmental emotional support to help you process your pregnancy and/or birth as well as the profound transition you’ve just undergone

  • Assistance with newborn education and care for things like diapering, bathing, and soothing

  • Any helpful postnatal care for the birthing person

  • Support for feeding - whether you’ve chosen to breastfeed, pump, bottle feed, or any combination

  • In-home cooking and meal preparation of nourishing foods to help support your recovery

  • Household tasks such as laundry, dishes, light cleaning, basic errands, etc.

  • Caring for your baby while you shower, rest, or run errands

  • Support for siblings and/or partners
