I have recently limited the hospitals I attend and practices I work with. I mainly support births with midwives at Hartford Hospital, Manchester Memorial Hospital, and Yale New Haven Hospital. If you are interested in switching hospitals or practices please reach out to talk through the options!
Please reach out if you are interested in having a doula attend your birth but are concerned about the financial commitment. I am always open to payment plans, and sometimes to bartering services. If I am unavailable for your birth, I will refer you to other trusted doulas!
Everything But The Birth
My EBTB package includes everything you see above except - you guessed it - the birth support!
It includes 2 prenatal meetings, 1 postpartum visit, all of my informational handouts and resources, and unlimited phone support throughout your pregnancy and the fourth trimester. This option is good for people who want a friend or family member to be their second support person, for people who will be birthing via planned c-section, and for people who are not local to me.
Investment: $600
Mini Birth Prep
Mini Birth Prep is a 3 hour in-home or virtual session for you and your partner to discuss and practice the same things included in doula prenatals! This is the package for expecting parents who aren't quite sure they need/want in-person support, but know there is a lot of information they may miss out on by not having a doula! We discuss advocacy and shared decision making, practice partner support and comfort measures, create birth and postpartum plans, and talk about how to achieve your feeding goals. This session would be best for people who have been through pregnancy and birth before or first time parents who have taken a comprehensive childbirth ed course.
Investment: $200
All packages require a 50% retainer and contract to book your time on my calendar;
