There are three ways I can support you and your new family.

As a Certified Labor Doula, I will be there to support you during your pregnancy and the birth of your child.  This is a monumental time of your life, and my job is to respect the decisions you make and provide you with physical, emotional, and informational support during your pregnancy and labor.  From helping you write a birth plan, to rubbing your back and suggesting positions during labor, to answering your partner's questions about how he/she may best assist you, to helping you communicate with other professionals involved in the birth of your child, to assisting with your first attempts at feeding your baby, I will be there for you and your family.  For these services, I offer a labor doula package.

As a Postpartum Doula, I offer in-home support to you, your baby, and other family members, in whatever way will help the most.  From assisting with infant care (bathing, soothing, changing, etc.), to household chores like laundry and dishes, to the sometimes-frustrating establishment of breastfeeding, to practical matters like answering the phone or door, to letting everyone have a good night's sleep by tending to your baby in the wee hours, my job is to help the transition into a bigger family an easier one for everybody.  Posptartum services are offered on an hourly basis. 

As an Infant Massage Instructor, I teach how to effectively massage your baby.  These classes are offered in private and group settings.  To find out more, please go to the Infant Massage Instruction page.
