Looking for a San Jose Birth Doula?

Are we a match to work together? Let's find out over coffee or tea. We can meet in a local coffee shop or chat virtually.  We can discuss your pregnancy, birth wishes and what led you to finding a doula. I will also answer questions you might have from birth to doulas. I enjoy meeting new people and talking birth so there is no obligation. This complimentary consultation lasts about 45 minutes.

In response to COVID-19 outbreak, my doula support services are available VIRTUALLY or a HYBRID approach. Let’s chat about your needs and come up with an option that works best for you and your growing family. I would love to share with you what doula support looks like at this moment and discuss how you can still benefit from having a committed birth team.

Birth Coach + Labor Support

BIRTH DOULA SERVICES INCLUDE:

Four prenatal coaching sessions, approximately ninety minutes in duration. In these sessions, we will: understand your vision, motivations, fears, and hopes for your birth; explore birth preferences; use Spinning Babies and Body Ready Method techniques; practice comfort measures and positions for labor and delivery; prepare for postpartum; and review any birthing and postpartum topics as requested.

Phone, text, and email support from the time I am hired through six weeks postpartum.

Access to a TENS unit for you to start using at the onset of labor.

Back-up Doula support

On-call (24/7) from two weeks before your due date to when you give birth. Once you are in labor, I will come at your request to provide continuous labor support and will stay one-two hours postpartum.

Two postpartum visits that offer: breastfeeding support, celebrating your birth experience, and supporting your transition to motherhood.

Fee + Service Area

Total fee: $3000 (new clients with no labor experience)

A $1300 retainer fee is due when the contract is signed to hold your due date on my calendar. The remaining balance is due by 38 weeks.

In certain circumstances, I offer a sliding scale fee and discounted services: repeat clients, single parent, homebirth, midwifery model of care, etc. Please inquire within.

I serve couples residing in the South Bay Area.

 
She is such a sweet and kind spirit and KNOWLEDGEABLE about what she does. The exercises she did with me helped the labor to PROGRESS quickly and EASED the pain from the contractions.
