1, 2.5-hr appointments

We discuss your goals, expectations, birth plan as well as logistics on the day of birth!

We know that no two births nor families are alike. We work with you one-on-one to customize your care based on your unique situation for you and your pregnancy & birth.

Phone (text and voice) and email support is provided from the time you retain services until 6 weeks after your baby is born.

*First time parents who are not taking a separate childbirth class through their hospital or other means are HIGHLY encouraged to add one of our Private Childbirth Class packages. This prenatal appointment should not be used as a substitute for a childbirth class.





“She made sure I was always informed and encouraged me to do whatever I felt was right for myself and my baby. In person, she taught my husband and I various pain management techniques and assisted with breastfeeding.” –Stephanie



“Valerie was always very prompt to return phone calls and emails. She was very professional and understanding of individual needs. She would spend extra time if needed to explain things further or to make one feel comfortable. Tools and education received were invaluable to the actual birth experience. She would make you feel as if you were her one and only client. Valerie had a calming nature about her that help tremendously during relaxation techniques.” – Christal



“The support we received from Valerie was invaluable. She is remarkably nurturing and informative and always eager to help any way she can. She is truly gifted when it comes to the art and science of being a Doula and my husband and I have a lot of respect for Valerie and her work. We are very thankful she was a part of our pregnancy and birth.” - Kate

We want you to enjoy your first few minutes with your baby. When you no longer need immediate doula support, your doula will step a short distance away to give you private time to explore your new bundle of joy with your loved ones.

When/if you desire your doula will help initiate breastfeeding.

Your doula is happy to take a few photos if desired.

Your doula will call you within the first 2 days after your birth to check on you.

We will schedule a follow up with a postpartum visit within 10 days after birth.

We encourage you to call/text yur doula if you feel you have questions from your immediate pospartum thru 6 weeks postpartum.

Many clients find our additional pospartum doula services a tremendous asset during the first few weeks and months postpartum as the regain their physical, mental, and emotional strength and navigate their new life.
