I help you prepare during pregnancy for the challenges of labour, and I am there to give you continuous support throughout labour: emotionally, informationally, with physical comfort measures. I am there for you from when you first feel you need me after contractions begin, until after your baby is born. I help you out with early breastfeeding & I don’t leave your side until your baby has been fed and you’re ready to rest.

I will stay by your side to help as you experience this amazing transformation that is becoming a parent. It's your day!

Birth Support package:

Emotional and informational support via text/email/phone throughout your pregnancy, as needed.
2 prenatal visits where we will get to know each other so I can understand your birth preferences, fears and ideals. This helps me provide you with customized support. I will also assist you in developing a birth plan if you wish.
Help you get the information necessary to make informed decisions during labour.
On call 24 hours/day beginning two weeks before the due date, until your baby is born.
Arrange for a backup doula to be on call if I am unavailable due to illness or unexpected emergency.
Early labour support over the phone or in person, if you desire it.
Stay with you once active labour has begun, until one or two hours after your baby is born, has been fed and everyone is settled.
Use non-medical labour support techniques and provide physical comfort measures.
Strive to maintain a calm and peaceful birth environment, as defined by you.
Take photographs during labour, birth and bonding time, if you request them. (*note that I’m not a professional photographer, and the need for birth support and limitations set by medical staff may impact my ability to take photos)
Assist with baby’s early breastfeeding and latch shortly after birth, if you plan to breastfeed.
One postnatal visit with you, in which we can discuss how things are going, troubleshoot any feeding or home setup challenges, and I can provide resources you might need.
Two craniosacral treatments, because I see tremendous value to birthers and their babies in this type of treatment. These can be scheduled with either The Parents and Babes Cranio Clinic https://www.babycliniccalgary.com/ or with Linda White https://www.lindawhite.ca/ . Many clients find it helpful to do one treatment before their baby is born, and one after the birth of their baby, but they can be used as you prefer.
