Doula Services
for Boston & Providence

A Birth doula is there to support you through the birth you choose whether it be in a hospital, birth center, or home and vaginal or cesarean. Navigating birth with support not only creates a wonderful birth experience, but also empowers you to make the decisions that best align with you. Every birther is having natural childbirth before their epidural, so whether you are planning natural childbirth or you are definitely having an epidural, having the tools and support will lower your chances of having a surgical birth! You are the expert of your own body and baby, I am here to empower and guide you via comfort measures and physical support, emotional support and encouragement, and informational support and advocacy.

​

Services Include:

​

• 45-minute consultation

• 2 prenatal visits 

  • The first where I get to know your birthing preferences and what works for you.  I write a birth plan for your review based on that meeting​

  • The second meeting is a hands on workshop where we practice labor positions and comfort measures.  If you have a partner, this is the meeting where I train them to support your in just the right way.
