My role as your Holistoc doula begins during prenatal meetings where we can get to know each other and discuss your birth preferences and any concerns you may have. During labor, I am available by phone or text for any questions or updates, and I join you at your chosen birth location when you are ready for me. I do not replace your partner or medical team, but rather work together with them to provide continuous support.
In the delivery room, I can assist with positioning, breathing techniques, and other comfort measures to help manage pain and promote progress. I can also act as a liaison between you and your medical team, making sure your preferences are communicated and respected. In the event of unexpected interventions or complications, I provide emotional support and help you understand your options and make informed decisions.
After delivery, I offer support with breastfeeding or any other needs you may have. I can also provide postpartum care and resources to help you navigate the early days and weeks of motherhood.
My goal as a doula is to help you have a positive and empowering birth experience, whatever that may look like for you. I believe every woman deserves to feel supported, respected, and in control during labor and delivery. I am honored to be a part of your birth journey and look forward to supporting you and your growing family.
