Your birth plan will be honored and individual preferences are followed: I am committed in doing all I can to make this birth an elevated experience with the best outcomes possible.

• Lactation Support: For Mothers who desire to Breastfeed, I typically stay 2-3 hours post birth to ensure Mom receives “the golden hour” of skin-to-skin, the first latches are perfect and Breastfeeding begins flawlessly. My lactation support also includes free breast pump rentals exclusive only to my Doula Clients. Hospital Lactation can take awhile and are not staffed during the night hours when most Mothers birth. No worries! If you are in need, I will provide a free (Sanitized) pump for you to use. I am a Certified Lactation Counselor, former WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor and Leader for La Leche League Nocatee with 14 years of professional Lactation experience.

I always honor Parents’ individual photography preferences and desired level of modesty. Families will receive high quality 50-100 edited images delivered within 7 days of their birth. I am one of the very few local doulas who offer complimentary professional birth photography within their Doula Package! (over a $1,000+ value!) The images on my website and social media showcase my photography style and previous work.

• Back Up Doula: Working as a team with my fellow Doulas, I always have multiple backups available who offer a comparable level of experience and care as I do- ready to step in on my behalf if needed. The use of a backup doula is included, at no additional fee. I intentionally take on a lower volume of clients (3 to 4 births a month) to significantly reduce the chances of having multiple Moms in labor on the same day/night. Since moving my business to Jacksonville/Nocatee in 2019, I have attended over 150 births locally and used a backup Doula only 2 times- due to illness.

• Postpartum Support: 2 Postpartum support visits in the comfort of your home to ensure Mom and Baby are bonding, healing well and baby is breastfeeding with optimum weight gain.
  Postpartum Visit #1 is within 3-7 days post birth/Postpartum Visit #2 is within 7-30 days post birth. Each visit is 2-3 hours in length and will include detailed breastfeeding support/guidance, postpartum healing, recovery and birth processing discussions. During our first postpartum visit I will bring your family a complimentary dinner, along with a birthday cake! Don’t worry about cooking dinner, I will have it covered! Let’s celebrate your Birth, your new baby and this beautiful new chapter!
