Services & Investment

I share photos only with explicit permission via our contract. While I love all things pregnancy, birth, and baby related, my goal is to support you, ensuring this time of transition is filled with love, respect, empathy, and consent. 

Will you post my photos online?

Those darn contractors and their disdain for beautiful large windows, am I right?! Not to fear, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve including mobile artificial lights that come with me to every session. I've also had clients rent really cute AirBNBs for their sessions. It's a win-win. 

I want to book a photo sesh, but my house is really dark and doesn't get a ton of natural light. What do i do?

The earlier the better! Postpartum doula care fills my calendar especially quick as many book months in advance. Photography services require a bit more planning, therefore I ask that my wonderful families to contact me as soon as humanly possible so I am able to get you on the calendar and secure your care/spot. Please note: clients who have been scheduled will take priority over last-minute requests and inquiries.

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK YOU?

First of all, thank you! Second, I am passionate about making doula, photography, and wellness coaching services accessible to everyone, recognizing that these valuable resources are not merely luxuries but essential components of a well-supported and empowered journey into parenthood. My goal is to provide education and support so that every mama, papa, and caregiver, regardless of financial constraints, can benefit from these services. To ensure inclusivity, I offer flexible payment plans, aiming to make these necessary and transformative services available to a broader range of families. It's not just about capturing moments or navigating the postpartum period; it's about equipping you with the knowledge and empowerment to live your best life during this significant and transformative time.

I love what you do, but can't afford everything i want. 

While I am not an IBCLC, I can assist with latching, feeding positions, identifying challenges, assistance with pumping, introducing bottle feeding, and overall encouragement. Sleep training isn't recommended for infants under 4 months, as they are still in the early stages of development. At this age, they often require frequent feedings, their circadian rhythm is not fully established, and their self-soothing abilities are limited. Parenting styles vary, but research suggests that an authoritative approach is best for child development; I will honor your families preferences and offer evidence-based knowledge when applicable.   

How do you approach issues such as breastfeeding, sleep training, and parenting styles?

In terms of communication for doula care, I utilize a group chat that includes Mom, Dad (or other parents/partners), and myself, ensuring everyone stays informed and connected. This approach is particularly beneficial during births. Following an overnight shift, both parents will receive a detailed email from me, outlining their baby's night, complete with time stamps. To accommodate individual preferences, my contact form provides an option for you to specify your preferred form of communication.

How do you typically communicate with parents?

Overnights are typically between 10pm-6am or 9pm-7am. Daytime care is relatively flexible, most families opting for morning or mid afternoon support. While schedules can be customized, there is an 8 hour shift minimum for overnights and a 4 hour minimum for daytime shifts. 

What is your schedule for overnights? What about Daytime?

Absolutely! I am happy to meet with families before baby makes their grand entrance. This gives us the perfect chance for us to dive into your goals, paint a picture of what postpartum 'success' means to you, and vibe together to see if we're a good match.

Our baby isn't here yet, but i know we're going to need support. can i meet you beforehand?

Yes! I've been lucky enough to tag along with some wonderful families to care for and support their wee ones on business trips, vacations, and getaways both in and out of state. I love to travel, and offer these services to well-established clients. 

I heard some doulas travel with families. Do you do this?

During our consult, we will discuss your budget and financial needs, aiming to establish a payment plan ideally before the baby arrives. This proactive approach ensures the seamless implementation of installments, enabling time for adjustments, clarifications, and any necessary refinements to the payment plan, creating a more personalized and stress-free financial arrangement for your upcoming journey into parenthood.
