- L. L., Doula Client
Mama Care and Doula Services
With a background in holistic health, bodywork, and doula support, I empower mamas to connect with their own and their babies’ wisdom.
Birth Doula
As your birth doula, I help set the stage for a birth guided by baby and mama. Birth is a chance for you to shine! It is also a formative time for baby’s relationship with you and the world. My goal is for you and your partner to feel empowered to make this special event yours.
My birth doula package includes:
- At least two preparatory visits with you and your partner
- Unlimited phone & email access for questions and concerns
- Guidance in creating your birth plan and understanding your options
- Resources and referrals to help you access additional support
- On-call for your birth from two weeks before your estimated delivery date
- Support during your birth (including birthing postions and massage)
- Postpartum follow-up and visit
Additional options:
- Prenatal & postpartum massage
- Additional postpartum doula support
Postpartum Doula
In the weeks and months after birth, rest and connection with your little one are your most important jobs. As your postpartum doula, I support your emotional and physical well-being, so you can smoothly transition into motherhood.
In regularly scheduled house visits, I can:
- Offer a compassionate ear and balanced awareness of what’s normal
- Prepare nourishing meals
- Provide basic breastfeeding support
- Show you baby massage techniques
- Perform light housekeeping and errands
- Support you in organizing visitors and asking for help from friends and family
- Connect you to resources and services to support your specific needs
- Nurture you to be the amazing mama that you are!
Additional options:
- Mama massage
Mama Massage
Take care of body, soul and spirit with prenatal and postpartum massage. My style is integrative, and can incorporate shiatsu, deep tissue or gentle strokes, craniosacral balancing or energywork to release physical and emotional tension. Enjoy in the comfort of your own home!
