COVID-19

As the Covid-19 pandemic sweeps the globe, many changes are happening within hospitals and birth centers regarding new policies and procedures.
​Every expecting parent should be educated in their rights as patients, what changes are being made, and what to expect during birth and the postpartum stay.
Because of these changes and the effects they have had in the working community, I am offering a deeply discounted Virtual Doula support package to assist those needing support who could not otherwise afford it.
I believe every woman deserves and can benefit from a Doula, so I do offer payment plans, please contact me with any questions.

*Disclaimer: Due to my strong beliefs that your baby's body is made perfectly the way it is and my feelings on body autonomy, I cannot serve any families postpartum that choose to circumcise their baby without medical necessity after the procedure. If you are thinking of choosing this elective cosmetic procedure, I urge you to look further into the serious risks involved in removing a vital piece of your baby's organ. Please visit YourWholeBaby.org before you make this decision.
