My own personal birth story led me down this path.

I am cpr certified/ have some experience with breastfeeding & a child development associates.

I typically only support 1-2 birth clients a month to ensure availability and adequate care and time.

Normally 6 times but depending on your situation if you need more help postpartum we may change the schedule to fit your needs 

I am familiar with the local hospital in the communities i serve this includes sparrow and McLaren in Lansing 

Prenatally we will work on different scenarios that may arise and how you would like them to go and giving you the tools to advocate for yourself I will be there as a reminder for your plan and a rock if the plans change. 

You will let me know your in labor and can expect to hear from me promptly I will meet you where you plan to deliver and help support you in whatever way you need at the moment.

As a doula I focus primarily on non medical pain relief this includes things like counter pressure the tens machine and labor postions prenatally we will cover all Medical pain relief and have discussion about your preference and your birth plan and how I can best support you.

I do have w backup doula if that is needed. 

I will be there to provide you with the information of what’s going on ground you and go back with you to the or if you do not have another support person with you. Once done I will meet you in recovery and help support you with the immediate postpartum period 

I currently offer postpartum support which includes but isn’t limited to meal prep nap visits (so family can sleep) light housekeeping & general support if you need adult conversation and understanding 

I will include the people at your birth as much as everyone is comfortable with. This includes helping with labor positions explaining what’s going on reminding people if they had questions or concerns to ask the doctor or nurse.
