Birth Doula Support
Holistic support for the birth journey
As a doula, I provide you with heartfelt care, support, information, and understanding throughout this beautiful birth journey - from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond.
Together, we will create a roadmap for prenatal healing work and outline your preferences for a ceremonial birth that will enable you to be in your full power as a woman.
After birth, I will support you in recalibration. During the postpartum months, many women feel alone, unseen, and mourn the loss of their past identity. You are stepping into a new reality.
I see you. I hear you. I honor you. I love you.
It is essential to acknowledge the woman you were, embrace the woman you are becoming, and expand into this new self.
I believe a woman’s journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is sacred and should be regarded with the utmost care and attention.

Each woman’s idea of an empowered birth is unique. Together, we will create a prenatal healing roadmap, postpartum plan and birth ceremony that fits your needs, beliefs, and desires. If you are seeking a non-traditional, spiritual alternative to a baby shower, you may also want to consider a blessingway.

In order to support you through this process of transformation, I can recommend and facilitate meditation, breathwork, aromatherapy, sound baths, womb closing ceremony, and yoni steams.

FAQs
How many sessions do I get with you before + after birth?
We will have three (3) prenatal sessions together - one of which will be dedicated to your healing modality of choice (guided womb healing meditation, sound bath, art expression, outdoor activity, or something else of your choosing). After your birth, we will have two postpartum reintegration sessions together. Both prenatal and postpartum sessions will be in-person unless you request to meet virtually.
What if I go into labor early / late?
Your body’s timing is always perfect - whether that’s “late” or “early” according to your estimated due date. No matter when you go into labor, I will be there to support you and your family.
Can I meet you before hiring you?
Absolutely! We can have a phone call to meet each other and answer any questions you may have about my doula services. I also always recommend meeting in person before we decide to work together, as our synergistic energy will be extremely important in helping you feel safe and supported through this process.
How long will you stay with me during labor / after birth?
During early labor, I will be available to you by text and phone call - up until you say, “Sofia, I need you to meet me here now!” I will be by your side through labor and birth, and stay with you for up to three (3) hours after your little miracle has made their way earthside.
What is a birth ceremony?
Not all too long ago, birth was considered a ceremony, rite of passage, and initiation. My goal as a doula is to remember the sacredness of birth and help you create the birth ceremony you desire. Whether you wish to incorporate healing sounds, aromatherapy, or something else, we will design a ceremony that can be taken anywhere - whether you birth at home, at a birth center, or in a hospital.
Can my family/child be incorporated into my birth?
Yes! This is YOUR birth, and you get to decide who will be present or an active participant. I will be there to empower you and whoever you’d like to be involved in the birth.
