honoring your journey - from Oakland County and surrounding areas
Our Services
Supporting your journey from pregnancy to postpartum with care and compassion.
Birth Care
Whether you are seeking an addition to your birth team for advocacy, pain relief techniques, or general labor education and support there are proven benefits to hiring a doula.
My support includes prenatal planning sessions, continuous labor support, as well as a postpartum debrief. During our contract you will have access to my lending library, and after I hope to be a continued resource you can count on.
Birth packages start at $1500 with limited availability each month to maintain confidence of my reliability with all clients.
Postpartum
A postpartum doula is more than a house keeper, mother's helper, newborn care specialist, or chef. When you are feeling overwhelmed with this new role as a parent in addition to your previous connections as partner, friend, co-worker, I am there to keep your family grounded. I provide perspective tailored to your priorities and goals.
Scheduled in advance, a postpartum contract can last anywhere from 2- 12 weeks after the baby(s) are born. I am available for night as well as daytime support at the rate of $45/hour
Packages with birth support are available. Currently booking for clients in September 2026 and beyond.
