Our Services

Discover the comprehensive birth doula services offered by A Mother's Touch, designed to support you through every stage of your pregnancy and postpartum journey. We are committed to providing quality care and personalized support to help you achieve a positive birthing experience.

Physical and Emotional Support

I offer compassionate physical and emotional support during labor, ensuring you feel empowered and comfortable throughout the process. I use movement, massage and positioning to help you achieve your best birth. My doula services are designed to help you navigate labor with confidence and peace of mind.

What to Expect

Your experience begins with a free consultation to discuss your needs and preferences. If you choose to work with me, you'll receive up to 2 prenatal home visits, continuous in-person support during labor, and up to 2 postpartum visits to ensure a smooth transition.

Informed Care with RN Expertise

With 25 years of experience as an RN in labor and delivery, I bring unique assessment skills to identify potential complications and advise you on seeking further evaluation by a healthcare provider, ensuring your safety and well-being. I also use information from the Evidence Based Birth website to ensure you are getting the most up to date information on childbirth practices.

Services

Hospital Birth

I will meet you at the hospital of your choice to support you in active labor. After delivery, I will help you with the first feeding, assist you while you get cleaned up and provide the initial guidance you and your partner need to begin bonding with your new baby. 

Birthing Center

If you choose a standalone birthing center, I can meet with the midwife and her team to familiarize myself with their philosophy regarding childbirth. I will meet you at the center and attend to you during active labor. I will work with the team to provide guidance and support after delivery and only leave when you and your partner are comfortable. 

Home Birth

I will come to your house when you call and assist you during early and active labor through delivery. I will guide you through comfort measures and advise you when to call your midwife.  I will stay for up to 2 hours to assist you with your immediate postpartum and infant care needs .

Cesarean Support

Whether it's a scheduled or unscheduled procedure, I can talk to you about what to expect before, during, and after a C-section. I will be there to support you in the pre-op room and I will be there to help you after the procedure is over. If allowed, I can be present in the O.R. during delivery as well.

Doula Education

I can offer up to 4 prenatal visits to provide personalized childbirth education as part of your doula contract. I can help you with writing a birth plan and provide a list of resources to help you and your growing family.

Postpartum Support

I  will be with you during that first feed and give you education about selfcare during your recovery. I can provide up to 2 postpartum visits in your home to go over the birth, answer any questions you may have, and assess the need for specialized service referrals. If you want a more in-depth type of postpartum support, I can refer you to a number of postpartum doulas and/or lactation specialists in your area.
