Pre and Post Natal Care Services

Doula / Labor Assistant / Childbirth Educator
Metro west Boston Area

As your Doula, I will provide you with prenatal care and education with regards to pregnancy, labor and birth, possible interventions and side effects from those interventions. I will also offer you natural remedies for the discomforts of pregnancy, labor, and delivery.  When your labor begins I will be there for you and your partner with continuous, uninterrupted care. I will help both of you participate more fully in your experience by offering physical, emotional, and informational support so you feel less fearful of your experience. 

My Services include:

  • 2 Prenatal visits to discuss your pregnancy, hopes for birth, fears, and many other topics either you or your partner may have
  • Help with birth plan preparation, relaxation and labor preparation techniques
  • Labor assistance through delivery (no time restrictions)
  • Immediate post partum care and nursing support
  • 1 Post partum home visit to see how you are feeling about your delivery, any nursing questions you may have, and a discussion about the care of yourself and baby.

Read a Review of My Labor Assistance and Birth Doula Services.

I have completed the national Certification for Labor Assistance through the ALACE program. I am a professional, certified Doula and have experienced many labors since 2004.

I am also a certified yoga and personal trainer. Many moms enjoy one-on-one post partum fitness lessons and time spent practicing meditation techniques to ease the stresses of motherhood. I look forward to talking to you. I have many references I can offer to you if you are interested in contacting a previous client.

Service fee $660 - $860 on a sliding scale. (1/2 paid upfront and second post birth)

Additional visits $85/hr

Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Class

Come and experience your body move with beauty and grace as a life unfolds within you. Come dance to the rhythm of the love you are sharing with your newborn. Come into yourself through yoga.

This class will be based in the Vinyasa style of yoga. All levels of yoga students, from beginner to advanced, will find this style of pre-natal yoga beneficial. If you have delivered within the past year, this class will address the new needs of your body from recovery to breastfeeding and baby carrying.

Prenatal women will be combined with postnatal women so as to allow the natural cycle of divine mothering  to continue with support. Vinyasa yoga moves the body with flowing postures that are challenging, grounding, uplifting, and strength building. All of which will bring you to your center where confidence, awareness, and appreciation will blossom.
