As we acknowledge that birth is not just a physical experience, but an initiation and a rite of passage, the Holistic Sessions added into this package hope to help you start connecting with those deeper levels of your being, allowing relaxation and surrender to start becoming a part of you and not just “a technique” used at the moment of birth.
Each session is different, profound and designed to help you prepare or heal from your birth experience. These sessions are a combination of conversation, singing bowls, guided meditation, drums, rattles, and song and each session is customized to your current needs. As a Birth Mentor, our time together helps me to get to know you and understand you better, helping me create the container of support that YOU need for your unique birth experience. During our time together, you are fully clothed, relaxing with soft music. After the session we will discuss your experience and address your questions. Together we will create a plan to follow.

Free consultation: This is the time where we meet to talk about your ideas and desires for your birth, this meeting is about 1 hour long via video Zoom. We will discuss the different ways on how I can support you during the process.

One Childbirth Education class via Zoom: We get to know each other, who you are and what you want to bring into this experience. This is “the mental” meeting, to understand better the physiology of birth, our changing bodies, informed consent, the “what ifs” of birthing in a hospital, birth center or home, medical interventions, psychology of birth, inductions, comfort measures, herbs for birth and postpartum support, etc. To acknowledge that birth is not just a physical process but also an emotional and psychological one, together we discuss and create a birth and postpartum care plan that resonates with you and your growing family.
Two In-person meetings: In these meetings, we try to leave the headspace and go deeper. We connect to our bodies using breathwork, movement, and sound. Incorporating Spinning Babies positions and techniques, as well as Birthing from Within. The partner is invited to be an active part of the experience. We will go over “day of” preparation, how to support your partner during different stages of labor using the connection you already have, in addition to rebozo, massages, acupressure etc
I’m available to answer any questions or concerns. I would love to receive updates after every appointment with your doctors or midwives, to check in and to see how everything is going and to support you in any way I can! Open to communication via email, phone, text, video call.
Birth and immediate postpartum support: Once you feel that you need extra support during early labor, I like to come over to support you at your home before going into the hospital, or before you call your midwife to your home birth. I stay with you during the whole process and I like to stay 1-2 hours after the birth, to make sure that you are ok and settled with your new born.
One postpartum visit: Between 1-4 weeks after the birth, I come over to your house to check on you, how you are healing, how baby is doing, to answer any questions about breastfeeding, new borns, herbs, etc. We process the birth. This part is very important to close the cycle of pregnancy and birth and to move forward into parenthood. If requested by parents we can prepare a postpartum ceremony
On call at week 38: This means I won’t be accepting other clients with your due date and will block my calendar for traveling in order to be available when you go into labor.
Herbal guidance through pregnancy and postpartum: If you are interested, I offer herbal education and classes on how to use simple and gentle herbs that have been traditionally used during pregnancy and to heal during the postpartum period.
Herbal products available: Products are made in small batches, and my clients get updates about products being available first
This package is the same as the Traditional Doula Package, but includes 2 doulas instead of 1. It was created for those who don’t want any strangers (last minute backup doula) coming into their birthing space. There are rare circumstances when circumstances outside of my control make me unavailable the day of your birth. Working with 2 doulas from the start, ensures that you always feel supported by two doulas for any questions or concerns, and on the day of your birth, creating a relationship of trust with both of us.
