Doula services

Support for every chapter of becoming a parent

From the first weeks of pregnancy through the tender days after birth, I offer continuous, hands-on, non-medical support that works alongside your OB or midwife.

Packages

Three ways to be held

Most families combine labor support with prenatal visits, and many add postpartum care. We will shape the right fit together in your consultation.

  • Prenatal Care

    Preparing body, mind, and home for birth

    Support through pregnancy so you walk into your birth informed, grounded, and held. We meet regularly to talk through your hopes, fears, and options, and build a birth plan that feels like yours.

    • Two to three in-person prenatal visits
    • Birth preferences and birth plan session
    • Comfort measures and positioning practice for you and your partner
    • Unlimited text and email support from the time you hire me
    • Resource library: evidence-based reading, local providers, classes

    Labor & Delivery

    Continuous, hands-on support from first contraction to first feed

    • On-call from 38 weeks until your baby arrives
    • Continuous physical and emotional support throughout labor
    • Help understanding options and advocating for your preferences
    • Partner support and guidance so they can be fully present

  • Postpartum Care

    Rest, recovery, and the tender first weeks

    The fourth trimester deserves as much care as the birth. I come to your home to help you heal, feed, rest, and find your footing as a new family.

    • In-home visits scheduled around your needs (daytime blocks)
    • Newborn care guidance and feeding support
    • Light household help: meals, laundry, dishes, so you can rest
    • Emotional processing and a listening ear
    • Referrals for lactation, pelvic floor, and mental-health support when needed

Pricing is shared in your free consultation so we can talk about what fits your family and your budget. Sliding-scale spots are available. HSA/FSA receipts provided.

Questions

Things people usually ask

What does a doula actually do?

A doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth. I help you understand your options, keep you comfortable with hands-on techniques, support your partner, and make sure you feel heard. I do not perform medical tasks; that is the job of your OB, midwife, or nurse, and I work alongside them.

Do you attend hospital births?

Yes. I support births in hospitals, birth centers, and at home. Most hospitals in the area welcome doulas, and I am happy to connect with your care team ahead of time.

When should I hire a doula?

Many families reach out in the second trimester, but it is never too early or too late. If you are already past 36 weeks, book a consultation and we will see what is possible.

What is your service area?

Austin, TX and surrounding areas. If you are a little farther out, ask; travel can often be arranged.

Is a doula covered by insurance or HSA/FSA?

Some HSA and FSA plans reimburse doula services, and a growing number of insurance plans and Medicaid programs in Texas offer coverage. I can provide an itemized receipt for you to submit.

What happens in the free 20-minute consultation?

We talk, that's it. You tell me about your pregnancy and what you are hoping for, I tell you how I work, and we both get a feel for whether we are a good fit. No pressure, no sales pitch.

Not sure which package fits?

That's exactly what the free consultation is for. Tell me about your pregnancy and your hopes, and I'll tell you honestly how I can help.
