SCOPE OF PRACTICE:

***Please note that I am currently not accepting birth or postpartum clients at this time. My books will open to birth and postpartum clients based in Chicago this summer in June 2023.

As a birth doula, I accompany birthing people in labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying birth experience, in accordance with the birthing person’s needs and boundaries. In 2020, I completed trainings approved by DONA International with the Los Angeles-based organization, Bini Birth.

I draw on my professional training, knowledge, ancestral intuition, and experience to provide emotional support, physical comfort, and as needed, communication with the staff to make sure that you have the information you need to make informed decisions as they arise before and during the laboring process. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, soothing touch, positioning, and other techniques for comfort. I am independent and self-employed. As your doula, I am working for you, not your caregiver or hospital. I will provide evidence-based information so that you and your partner approach the birth well-informed and equipped to make your own decisions that honor your needs and wishes. I will always advocate for your consent in clinical settings but will not make clinical decisions for you.

BIRTH DOULA PACKAGE:

24/7 on-call support in the final trimester of your pregnancy, ongoing on-call support throughout the pregnancy.

[3 prenatal visits, 1hr each visit]

Attending the birth in person as well as early labor support at home.

[2 postpartum visits, 1hr each visit]

During postpartum visits we will discuss and process the labor. I can assist with feeding, checking-in, grounding, and overall assistance with adjusting to life with a newborn, with the goal of helping you to transition to a postpartum doula and/or a sustainable postpartum care network and practices.

BIRTH DOULA PACKAGE FEES:

$600 retainer fee, due when you select me as your doula.
$600 due within one month after the birth.

POSTPARTUM DOULA PACKAGE:

As your postpartum doula, I will work to help support your transition(s) to parenthood by providing lactation assistance, mental health resources, meal preparation, light housekeeping, tending to the newborn while you rest, provide evidence-based information, help other family members adjust, and continuously advocate and support your wellness and wellbeing.

I offer a discounted rate to birth clients who chose to continue working with me as their postpartum doula.
