The Doula Effect

    Practice overview

    My services have at least 1 pre- and post-natal appointments, and labor support. At the prenatal visit, we will discuss your hope and fears and prior laboring experiences, develop your labor plan, and talk of what brings you comfort. At your labor, I will recommend movements and offer comfort to you and your laboring partner. I will support your voice in conversations with your medical provider and help make sure you understand what is happening. I will be keeping a log of your labor events to discuss with you at the post-natal visit. At 1 to 2 hours postnatal, after you are settled for recovery, I will take my leave. After your birth, you may schedule your postnatal visit with me. We can review your labor and any concerns you have. I have a list of providers for additional support needs.

    Care philosophy

    This is your journey towards meeting your child face to face. I am here to help facilitate your labor event, so that your voice is heard. I can help slow down conversations with your doctor, nurse, or midwife in case you did not have a chance to understand their request. I can support both you and your labor partner with your emotional needs during labor and you will not be alone at any moment.
