Doula Services

 
 

My doula services are specific to each individual client I work with. My goal is to help you to understand the birth process, facilitate clear expectations, and to show up for you with evidence-based practice, mindfulness and an open heart. I offer both virtual and in-person support, let’s discuss the right plan for you.

“My experience with Michelle was absolutely amazing! It was such a joy working with her. She put me right at ease from the moment I met her. She was with me every step of the way. I am forever grateful.”
— Jennifer, Birth Client

Sometimes you just need an extra set of hands or a shoulder to lean on. From wholesome meal preparation and newborn care tips, to providing protected sleep or setting up a sitz bath, you can rely on me.

  • Self-care, physical recovery, and postpartum comfort measures

  • Infant care education

  • Supporting feeding choices and preferences

  • Parenting information and education

  • Food prep and nutritional support

  • Providing protected sleep

  • Light housework including washing bottles/pumping supplies, tidying baby clothes, and home organization

My postpartum rate is $45/hour. I also offer postpartum meal prep services.

Community Doula Support

I offer a sliding scale community support in the following situations: single parents, teen parents, people who are unemployed or underemployed, and members of the BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ community.

When you pay my standard fees, you are supporting a fair, living wage aligned with my level of experience and education. When you pay a sliding scale, you are allowing your community to hold and support you. Both are acceptable ways of participating and I am honored to be a part of your journey.

I recognize that some may not be able to afford community pricing. If this is the case for you, contact me. I may be able to volunteer my services or connect you to other resources. Everyone deserves a doula’s support and care.
