Doula: Fertility Support Package
US & Canada
Trying to conceive a baby can become a stressful process filled with highs and lows. Whether you are struggling to conceive and are looking for extra support or you are just beginning your journey, I am here to help my clients on an emotional level while looking at conception through a holistic lens of lifestyle, nutrition, and stress management. Each session includes a guided meditation, an in depth look at conscious conception and how to create the mental space within yourself and your relationship to call a baby into your life, as well as rituals to de-stress the mind and body.

Doula: Birth Prep/ Prenatal Support Package
US & Canada
I work with the birthing person and/or birth couple to provide birth education, prenatal support, prepare a birth plan or as I like to call it "birth preferences', and share valuable resources such as hypnobirthing. Birth can be a fear-inducing topic for many and I am here to help you to feel empowered to advocate for the birth you want, and prepare you with confidence to trust your body and your baby on your journey. I also help to create a postpartum plan that will set the mother up to be cared for as she cares for her new baby. These sessions can be spread out throughout the pregnancy or done all in one long session - whatever you prefer!

Doula: Postpartum Support Package
US & Canada
As a mother of two babies myself I have a deep understanding of how challenging the postpartum period can feel - even with the right support system and resources. Many mommy and me classes are focused on the baby, and while there is a need for that my passion and focus is on the mama. With my counseling background I provide emotional support as well as provide practical guidance on navigating the 4th trimester. Some topics we may cover in session are...processing your birth story, birth recovery, baby feeding, exploring the identity shift that takes place during the initiation into motherhood, relationship shifts, changing family dynamics, body image, and the decision of when to return to work.
This package can start day 1 postpartum or days, weeks or even years after - it is never too late!
