WELL, HELLO.

Whether this BABY was a complete surprise or getting here WAS not nearly as strAIghtforward as you THOUGHT IT WOULD BE, YOU’RE PREGNANT.

BUT, WHAT NOW?

AFTER THE INITIAL SHOCK OF “I’M REALLY HAVING A BABY” PASSES, THE QUESTIONS START:

  • HOW DO I CHOOSE A PROVIDER?

  • WHEN DO I TELL PEOPLE?

  • SHOULD I HIRE A DOULA?

  • HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF THIS BABY?

What if there’s a better question?

 

MAYBE THE REAL QUESTION IS:

NOW THAT YOU’RE HERE, WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS TO LOOK LIKE?

BECAUSE YOU GET TO DECIDE.

YOU KNOW YOU BEST.

WE KNOW YOU WANT TO GET THIS PART RIGHT. AS PART OF YOUR TEAM, WE’RE HERE TO REMIND YOU OF YOUR OPTIONS, ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, AND BE THE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN DROP YOUR SHOULDERS BECAUSE <insert sigh> “MY DOULA IS HERE.”

WE TRUST YOU TO MAKE THE DECISIONS THAT ARE RIGHT FOR YOU. THAT MIGHT FEEL OVERWHELMING AT TIMES. AND PRIORITIZING WHAT FEELS BEST TO YOU IS WHERE WE LEAN IN.

 

BIRTH SUPPORT

You’re coming into this pregnancy with your own history, desires, fears, and hopes. Our birth support is intentional in meeting you right where you’re at and staying present as you navigate each option that comes with welcoming your baby.

That might look like texting about a pregnancy concern, helping you determine your birth plan, calming your anxiety as your due date approaches, showing your partner how to best support you, or continually reminding you of your strength.


NEWBORN CARE

SUPPORT

You’re having a baby. A whole entire human. As you enter this phase filled with firsts, you’ll be surrounded by information on the “right way” to care for this tiny person. (Plot twist: There’s no right way.)

We bring the support and experience that allows you the space to recover from birth and settle into this new family dynamic.

Because caring for YOU is caring for your baby.
