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
