Doula Services

I offer free consultations to anyone considering my services. This allows us to meet face to face and determine if we are a good fit for each other. I meet potential clients at the Edmond Birthing Center located in Edmond, unless other arrangements are made. **In an effort to remain transparent, it should be noted that I am currently accepting clients as a Primary Midwife under supervision as part of my requirements to complete the Bachelor's of Science in Midwifery program through Midwives College of Utah. I make every effort to attend every birth I am invited to, however if a primary midwifery client goes into labor while I am attending your birth as a doula, I would have to ask my back-up doula to come serve your family (at no additional cost to you) while I go to the midwifery client.** 

Doula services include everything you need to be informed and feel supported. This includes but is not limited to 3 prenatal meetings (1.5-2 hours each) where we go over birth preferences, answer any important questions you have, role play, talk about research, provide comfort; unlimited support via phone, text, and e-mail; birth plan assistance and guidance (birth plan templates available!); evidence based information; discussion of labor management ; relaxation and coping techniques, including position changes; physical and emotional support; rebozo; TENS machine; massage; essential oils; breathing exercises; and mental preparation; continuous support throughout labor and birth, including phone support /in-person support while laboring at home; advocacy before, during, and after birth; surgical birth support; support for a minimum of 2 hours immediately postpartum; postpartum support plan; breastfeeding assistance and support for 6 weeks postpartum;  2 postpartum visits (1 hour each); newborn parenting questions; review your birth experience.
