Active Birth Support

  • This is for the woman who is wanting doula support at her birth.

    My role here includes:

    • providing emotional support

    • hands-on adjustments/relief

    • working collaboratively with your birth team (midwives, nurses, OBGYNs, etc.)

    • advocating for your preferences

    • offering comfort techniques and positioning suggestions

    • supporting your partner so they can better support you

    • helping with set-up and take-down of birth space

    • making sure housekeeping items are running smoothly on the back-end of things so you can surrender into your experience without worrying about anything in the outside world

    I am on-call for your birth from 37wks onward.

    Time: As long as you need me.*

    Location: Your choice!

    Investment: $50/hr

    *Up to 15hrs consecutively.

    **This option pairs well with the “In Tune and In Touch” service.

    Because of the unique nature of birth (and your unique needs) you and I will discuss this service extensively in order for you to get exactly the kind of support you're looking for.

  • This is for the woman who is looking for supportive tools to rent during her birth, such as a TENS Machine, Birth CUB, or Birth Sling. You may choose to hire these tools throughout your 2nd or 3rd trimester (depending) to get a feel whether they are right for you by practicing different birthing positions- and again during baby’s expected period of arrival.

    Investment

    • TENS Machine: $80/4wks hire

    • Birth CUB: $80/4wks hire

    • Birth Sling: $40/4wks hire

    *Alternately, each tool can be rented for $20/3 days if you are looking for a short-term rental instead.

My Village Bundle

The most popular services bundled together for the woman who embodies her instincts and seeks more than typical birth care throughout each stage of her journey.

    Payment plans available upon request.

  • Just because it's a bundle doesn't mean it can't be tailored to your unique needs! No two people, pregnancies, births, or postpartum experiences are the same- that's why there is always room to customise the support and care you receive. Let's chat about what exactly you're looking for and how we can work together to make it happen.

My role isn’t to tell you what to do; it’s to support you in making empowered choices that feel right for you.

Let’s navigate your journey together

Let’s see if we’re a good match
