Servicing Chicagoland Area and Surrounding Suburbs
Congratulations on your upcoming birth! It is so exciting when you expand your family!
I am a DONA Doula, a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist and a CNA.
I would love the opportunity to meet with you and your significant other.
To tell you a little about myself, I am a mom to three lil ones. I have personally been through all types of pregnancy difficulties and many interventions. I found out about Doula's and natural birth after having my own babies. I have since thought how wonderful it would be to help other mom's have their own wonderful, meaningful births.
I quickly started training and love being a Doula.
As to my services, I offer 1-2 prenatal visits where we would create a birth plan. We would get comfortable with each other and go over fears, concerns and your wishes for the birth. I have a lot of information on breast feeding, types of pain management( natural and medical ), check lists and a booklet of ways for dad to help out. I also have phrases for mom to go through so that she can have them in sight in the weeks before her birth to empower her and relax her. Any time there are any concerns or any referrals may be needed, I'm available by phone 24/7.
I would also come to your home when labor begins , if that is your wish, and follow to the hospital when the time is right. I know plenty of postional techniques for progressing labor as well as massage, pressure points, guided imagery, etc to help labor be as comfortable and manageable as possible. I always stay at least one hour after birth to ensure breastfeeding has been established, every one is doing well and secure enough to be left on their own. I then do a follow up visit to your home the day you are discharged. I will help support breast feeding and check for any postpartum complications. If there are any concerns, I am happy to add a 2nd postpartum visit.
I am educated in Hypno-birthing, guided imagery and self relaxation exercises. I have seen this be helpful for dad as well as mom during birth!
There is absolutely no time limits as birth can never be predictable. There are no extra charges for calls, referrals or anything else that may be needed.
I do require a percentage down upon signing of the contract and then payment plans can easily be arranged.
I look forward to hearing from you,
