Birth Doula Services

I provide birth assistance for all types of births (unmedicated, birth with epidural, and c-sections) and in all settings (home, birth center, or hospital). Giving birth is a truly magical experience, but as many things in pregnancy and birth are unforeseeable, I can assure you that whatever your birth plan, I will be there to support you the entire process. As a doula, I serve the Fairfield County area and parts of Westchester County. 

Pre-Labor Support 

• We will meet each other and discuss the birth plan during a free consultation, around the 34th week of your pregnancy. 
• We will maintain communication via e-mail and phone following the initial meeting until your birth and early postpartum. I will be available to answer any questions you have or to simply check in. 

Labor and birth support 

• I will be on call 24/7 during your childbearing month (two weeks before estimated due date and two weeks after), as well as a back-up assistant who you will meet. 
• I am available to assist you at your home once labor starts to progress and am available to come earlier if additional support is desired. 
• If you are giving birth outside your home, I will assist in the transition to the hospital or the birth center and will be by your side the entire time. 
• During labor, I will help foster a calm, reassuring, and supporting setting for the optimal birth experience. Along with massage, footwork/reflexology, acupressure, breathing exercises, and suggestions of new positions/movements using yoga balls and rebozo therapy, I can arrange candles, music, or aromatherapy to help you be as comfortable and calm as possible. 
• I will continuously reassure and comfort you 
• Very importantly, I will ensure that your birth plan is adhered to and that your every wish is granted at the setting of your birth. (Unmedicated birth, birth with epidural, etc.) 
• If desired, I can take photos of labor, birth, and the early postpartum.

Post-labor support

• I will assist you with the baby’s first feeding immediately postpartum and stay with you until you are settled. 
• I will visit you at your home to review best practices for your recovery and breastfeeding. 
• I will be available during the first six weeks postpartum to go over any questions or concerns and to hear about how you and your baby are doing!
