Virtual Birth & Postpartum
Feeling isolated, anxious, and unsupported?
My virtual doula support offers customized, compassionate care that you can count on as you get ready to welcome your bundle of celebration. This service offers an opportunity for parents to have experienced birth support, even during this time of social distancing.
As I would during my in-person visits, I strive to make sure that you are informed, supported, cared for, and feeling confident as you approach the birth of your baby. During this time, it is my duty to look after your emotional journey. I provide loving support and empowering education leading up to labor, during your birth, and within the first couple of weeks with your baby.
