They typically last around 3 hours, and range in what we do.
- During this time you can expect me at your door with a warm homemade meal, ready to talk, check in on mental health, help with breastfeeding/pumping, help with laundry, dishes and light cleaning so you can rest and cuddle baby. Or if you wish, I can care for the baby while you nap, take a shower or bath, eat with both hands, or anything you wish.

I will be with you for the entirety of your birth and delivery. I am there to advocate, support and to hold space for you. I can offer initial breastfeeding advice and support.

Every Birth Doula Package includes:
Research shows having a Doula can help provide you with the tools and education for a shorter labor, more comfort, lower risk of trauma and a more desirable birth experience. I am certified through Rooted Birth Midwifery, where I gained an array of useful knowledge for my work. Accompanying women on this journey is an honor.

For breastmilk jewelry I require 4 oz of breastmilk in a bag. And for placenta jewelry just 2 capsules.
Placenta and Breastmilk Jewelry
I will pick up your placenta after the birth, process and encapsulate it, then drop it back off to you in the comfort of your home . This typically takes 1 to 2 days depending on when I receive it.
Placenta encapsulation is known to be beneficial to women in their time postpartum for many reasons. Consuming your placenta can:
- replenish iron
- transfer 13 essential hormones to help prevent postpartum depression
- help with milk coming in, increase vitality
- support healing
- and help with lighter bleeding.
I handle this art very intentionally and understand the amazing powerhouse that it is. I spend careful hours preparing this for your betterment.
What is encapsulation?
I am a certified placenta specialist through Women’s Choice Perinatal Services . I’ve learned the true art of encapsulation as well as keepsakes that will last a lifetime.

As a peer lactation counselor, certified through Mommy Latch, I am able to give advice, coach, provide information and resources as well as answer your questions that you may have while breastfeeding or pumping. I am not able to diagnose you or your baby but can offer suggestions and give recommendations.
Breastfeeding journeys can be challenging, some extra support at times may be what it takes to have an enjoyable and successful experience.
This offering is always case by case so inquire with what you may be looking for and we can arrange what you need!
Peer lactation counselor
Breastfeeding is something that at times doesn’t come easy or naturally to every mom and baby. There is so much to learn and unpack that really isn’t talked about enough with expecting moms. As someone who hit every road bump in the beginning but went on to nurse for 2+ years I will say that I recommend a breastfeeding class to anyone who plans to do so! My certification is through Mommy Latch, there I became equipped with all the knowledge I will be sharing with you!
This comprehensive class is great for first time moms or even moms who were unhappy with their previous breastfeeding journeys.
You can expect this class to last up to 3 hours. During our time we will talk about hormones, the phases of your milk, helpful breastfeeding tips for the beginning, latch, positions, milk making foods, increasing supply, common mommy issues, common baby issues, and much more. I bring my visuals and tools to help with hands on and visual learners as well as flanges and a sizer to give you an idea of what size pump flange you will need.
This class will leave you feeling more prepared and confident in your knowledge of feeding your baby.
Breastfeeding Education
I typically offer these to couples but would be open to a bigger group setting. This class typically lasts about 3 hours. During this time we will talk about how childbirth works, methods of intervention you have available to you, how to advocate for yourself, comfort measures and positions, and much more!
No one should walk into their birth without knowing what to expect and all of their options. This is great for first time parents or for anyone who did not love their experience with their previous births. This can be given as a thoughtful baby shower gift as well.
