This or that.
This package can have many variables. It leans towards those who are looking to maybe just review their birth options, and or collect resources for their birth and or postpartum.
It can also be for those who's needs are not met in the above packages. This can be an add on, for a provider visit or something
similar.
This is a paid by the hour package, and is a great way to get informed and or add-on for any additional needs.

As your Doula
Serving East Central Indiana
What is a Doula and why do I need one? A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to their clients, through all aspects of labor and delivery.
As your Doula, you are my top priority, from your first trimester through postpartum care! I provide my expecting mamas with the support you need to ensure your birth journey is the best journey. I supply my clients with a plethora of information regarding Labor & Delivery options, allowing you to make informed decisions for yourself and baby. During labor, it’s my primary concern to see your birth plan fulfilled as you desire. Finally, postpartum care is essential for your ultimate wellbeing and beneficial for mama & baby health.
​
My passion is for the birthing process, the miracle of life and of loss, healing, and serving families through the process. I am here for you, wherever your journey takes us.

Stats & Statistics
I have found that many of us have lost our voices to make choices. We want what we feel is safe for ourselves and that of our family, but we struggle to relay those thoughts and concerns openly. For many, sharing those choices in a medical environment can feel daunting. This leaves us feeling vulnerable to suggestions and actions, that could lead to unnecessary interventions we would have never personally have chosen ourselves.
Women who have continuous support during labor are:
-
28% less likely to have a cesarean section
-
31% less likely to use synthetic oxytocin to speed labor
-
9% less likely to use any pain medication
-
34% less likely to rate their childbirth experience negatively
-
and these numbers continue to improve
