Birth and Postpartum Doula Support for Families in the Silicon Valley

Our birth doula services include much more than labor support:

  • It starts with prenatal coaching and education
    • Comprehensive Intake: During the first session we will discuss your vision and expectations for working together and develop a plan to help you reach your goals for your pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
    • Birth Planning Sessions: As your doulas, we want to understand your vision for your birth experience. During the birth planning sessions, we help you to understand your options and prepare your preferences for labor in a way that helps you feel prepared and confident to manage labor and effectively communicates your preferences to your care providers.
    • Labor Logistics: The most frequently asked question we receive is, “When do we call our doulas?” Our final prenatal consultation  will cover all the logistics of labor so that when labor begins, you know what to expect for yourself, from your doulas, and your care providers.
    • Doula Chats: Things come up. We know that and we want to be available for you. In addition to unlimited phone, text and email support, our clients have access to our exclusive Doula Chat calendar to book a zoom session whenever you need extra support.
  • TENS Unit: All of our clients receive a complimentary rental Elle Labor TENS Unit to use at home and at the hospital and we go over its use during our prenatal consultation. (Provided via contactless drop off/pick up)
  • Third Trimester E-Course: Our exclusive Third Trimester series covers information that has proven to be helpful to our clients throughout the years. This is not your average set of weekly emails – we go far beyond comparing your baby to fruits and Parisienne pastries and dish up the real talk when it comes to pregnancy, birth, and parenting.
  • Expert Consultation and Coaching: Phone, text, and email support for all your questions and emotional support during your pregnancy, labor, and the fourth trimester
  • Postpartum Consultation: During our postpartum consultation after your baby is born we will check in on you and your family to process your birth experience and offer coaching and support with feeding and newborn care, the adjustment to parenthood, and postpartum recovery from birth.
  • Comprehensive Online Childbirth Preparation: Our clients have access to our live online series, Zoom in on Childbirth. This is a 10-week series that covers everything you need to know about birth and early parenting from Stages of Labor to Feeding Your Baby. The series rotates so families can jump in anytime, and take as few or as many classes as they would like. 

Birth Doula Services: $4000

You may want to consider in-person doula support for a variety of reasons:

  • You want in-person support during labor to have hands-on care, to have your childbirth educator in the room with you, and to have access to our specialized tools for labor support.
  • You want support for your partner to feel confident supporting you with loving presence with the ability to be able to take a break without leaving you alone. You want your partner to be able to be present as your partner, not a professional birth attendant.
  • You want to prepare for birth with 1:1 education and demonstration of strategies for coping and progress in labor. 
  • You want layers of support that are familiar with your chosen birth location and the local resources in your area.
