Doula Training

• DONA International-Approved Workshop, January 2021

Type of practice: Solo practice

Clients per month: 1 to 2

Attends hospital births? All Hospitals
I am happy to attend births in any hospital and see doulas as a crucial part of the care team. I am also happy to provide labor support at home before making the transition to the hospital.

Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
I am happy to attend births in any birth center and see doulas as a crucial part of the care team. I am also happy to provide labor support at home before making the transition to the birthing center.

Attends home births? Any Home Birth
I am currently studying to be a Certified Professional Midwife and love home births! I am honored to attend any home birth with a midwife present but do not attend unassisted births or free births.

Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

Advocacy experience for survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence/domestic abuse. In addition to doula work, I have been training to become a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), for over two years. CPMs attend home birth and are highly trained to support physiologic birth. I bring my additional midwifery knowledge as well as an emphasis on client education and shared decision making into my practice as a doula.

Fee Details

My fee includes phone and text support during pregnancy, at least 3 prenatal visits spent in childbirth education, birth and postpartum plan creation. I go on call for my clients 3 weeks before the due date and am available 24/7 during this time. I support my clients in their labor when they request and stay through birth and into the immediate postpartum. It also includes 1-2 postpartum visits and lactation support. As a Certified Lactation Counselor I am experienced and knowledgeable in supporting families to meet their baby feeding goals! I am training to be a student midwife and bring that background to my work as a doula, but love supporting people meet their birth goals wherever they are. I firmly believe that my clients are the experts in their needs, what is best for them and their family, and love nothing more than to be a source of advocacy and support in this momentous time in their lives. My goal for you is to be fully informed and empowered in your birth experience.
