Cesarean Birth Support
Cesarean births (which I sometimes also call C-Births and Belly Births) are an important tool for safely welcoming babies into the world, and a doula can be a valuable companion for families planning C-births, no matter the reason for the scheduled birth.

Planning and packing for the hospital stay
Companionship during the birth for birthing person and other support members when they may be separated
Postpartum preparation
Preparing the home for a surgical recovery and a new infant(s)
Encouragement of physical healing
Infant feeding support

PosTpartum Support and Planning
Postpartum support is for the whole family, whatever your family looks like. As a postpartum doula I support all parents and caregivers of your new addition (or additions!), which may include family, chosen family, partners, and siblings.
Your family's needs are unique, and in our prenatal postpartum planning session(s) I will get to know you, your preferences, and what areas to anticipate support, so we can co-create a living plan for your first weeks and months postpartum and beyond.
I provide support with:
Meal prep, grocery orders, and meal train setup
Light housework and organizing
Encouragement of physical healing
Protected sleep for all adults in the household, so you can get deep, uninterrupted rest
Infant feeding support, including initial consultation and referral to specialists if needed
Age appropriate sibling support and attention while integrating a new family member(s)
Encouragement, space holding, and listening
Affirmation of your parenting choices and your boundaries
In person packages include prenatal planning, in person visits, and 1 year of email support.
Already postpartum? Well jump right into in-person visits!
Packages are for 40, 60, or 90 hours (or more), which comes out to approximately 10, 15, or 22 4-hour shifts, respectively. Not sure how many hours you need? We can look at that together.

GUIDE CALL
A guide call is dedicated space to talk about whatever topic and questions you have.
We begin with a short email intake for you to share any initial questions and information about what you are looking for in preparation for our call. Then we will schedule a 1 hour video or phone call where we will discuss your questions more deeply, uncover more questions, and I will offer resources and information as needed.
Guide calls can be one-on-one or with a partner, friend, or other involved person. Within 3 days of the call I will email you call notes and a resource guide created just for you.
Example Topics:
Choosing a Healthcare Provider
Reproductive Health, Sex-Ed, including questions about STI’s and safer sex practices (I cannot diagnose an STI)
Abortion Support
Preconception Planning and Support
Virtual Prenatal Planning for Postpartum
Writing a Birth Plan/Preferences
Creating a Meal Train
Infant Feeding & Care

$50 for follow up calls on the same topic
Sliding scale $45-$75/call, $25-$45 for followup calls
ABORTION AND MEDICAL VISIT SUPPORT
Did you know that you can bring a companion to doctor visits of any kind? As a companion at appointments I can help ease anxiety of going to the doctor by talking through your visit goals before the appointment, being a grounding presence (or a distraction) while waiting and in the appointment, and taking notes to review and recap after.
I truly love providing this support and make a few appointments per month available for no cost.
$50 per appointment or procedure
Sliding scale $0-$20
Offering a sliding scale is a function of my values of wealth redistribution and more equitable access to care. I am in the process of building a sliding scale model for my business that balances an accessible rate for those disenfranchised by capitalism and white supremacy, a thriving wage for myself, and community support from those who are able to pay more.
In the meantime, the Green Bottle image and framework by Alexis J. Cunningfolk is a tool for families to use for reflection.
