Prenatal or Virtual Support Package
Not sure about inviting another person into your birthing space, but also want a doula? This is the package for you! It’s also great for folks outside of the Austin area who want to work with me. I will support your journey into parenthood by providing physical, emotional, and informational support throughout pregnancy and postpartum. I aim for my care to be individualized, trauma-informed, and rooted principles of transformative justice.
Some things we can work on together include:
Emotional:
Connecting with your wants, needs, fears, and joys– while tuning out excess advice, information overload, and unhelpful opinions
Holding space for and normalizing the wide range of emotions and experiences you may have
Offering non-judgmental guidance through your decision making process during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
Developing a postpartum care plan so you feel supported as new parents
Informational:
Providing evidence-based information so you feel confident making informed decisions surrounding your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience
Developing birth preferences for any outcome– we’ll have a plan A, B, and C– so you can feel as prepared as possible for this experience that inherently is unpredictable and requires release of control
During your birth, you can call or text me to chat through any decisions you need to make after speaking with your provider. I listen, ask questions, reflect back what I notice, and offer evidence-based information if requested to help you gain the clarity and confidence to make informed decisions
Physical:
Building your and your support person’s tool box of comfort measures and coping strategies prenatally to prepare you for labor and postpartum
Offering comfort measures and positions via phone or text throughout your labor
Normalizing what is happening during labor to maintain a calm environment for you and your support person(s)
Cost is $1100 and includes:
Unlimited text, phone, and email support from time of hire through 3 months postpartum
Monthly informal check-ins via text, phone call, or video chat
Two prenatal visits virtually or in your home if in Austin
Virtual support during labor (texting and phone calls)
One virtual postpartum check in meeting - video chat preferred so I can hear and see how you’re doing physically, emotionally, and mentally
