Virtual Doula Services
Doula support is an awesome tool. Having a doula is like having a best friend who just happens to know a lot about birth. As your doula, I’m on your side. I want you to have the best birth possible — no matter the gestation, no matter the outcome.
I understand that pregnancy after a loss is daunting, and the thought of giving birth can be overwhelming. You are not alone, and I want you to know there is support here for you. Having someone walk through this with you can be an amazing tool to help empower you and give you confidence throughout this whole time.
A Doula understands that birth is a sacred event, , and their roll is to honor and protect the mother’s journey, ensuring that she feels safe, heard, and supported.
What does a virtual Doula do?
-
I have a lot of knowledge. As your doula, I share that knowledge with you without bias, to help give you the information needed to make evidence-based, informed choices for yourself and your baby during pregnancy and birth
-
Pregnancy after loss and/or infertility is full of anxiety and fear. As your doula, a big part of what I do is help you talk through anxieties, so you can approach pregnancy with joy and excitement. During labor and birth, I help you partner to know what to say and do to be able to support you well.
-
This is the aspect of doula support that can be a bit more difficult virtually. During your pregnancy, I spend time with you and your partner, teaching both of you comfort measures and techniques to help keep you comfortable during pregnancy and labor, and to keep labor moving when it’s time to bring your baby into the world.
-
If you have been given a fatal diagnosis, or been told your baby has passed away, I am so sorry. My heart hurts with and for you. As your bereavement doula, my goal is to help you honor your baby throughout the rest of your pregnancy and through the labor and birth of your little one. Prenatally, I can help you prepare for what is to come in a gentle, yet straightforward way. And during the birth, I support you with all the tools in my doula bag. Bereavement support is always free of charge.
