Birth Support
Birth Doula Support
As a full spectrum doula it is my goal to support people on an accessible and individual level and to meet you where you’re at. I am deeply passionate about ensuring that birthing people receive the unwavering support, empathetic care, and fierce advocacy that they deserve.
Birth doula support includes:
3 prenatal visits (approx. 4-6 hours total) where we will connect and discuss the following:
creating your birth preferences/intentions + reviewing your childbirth education classes.
talking in detail around how I can best support you during your birth.
postpartum plans + support.
ensuring you have all of the support + resources that you need.
Up to 24 hours of in-person birth support. (After 24 hours, a pre-arranged back up doula will arrive).
Basic photography of the birth (when possible). If you would like a professional photographer present, please let me know and I’m happy to provide recommendations.
Unlimited text + phone support upon hire.
1 hour of immediate postpartum support.
1 postpartum visit to discuss and process the birth together, see how you are doing as a family, and provide any resources or recommendations as needed.

Sliding scale descriptions adapted from Worts & Cunning Apothecary.
“For my birth one of my main worries was not being heard + having trouble advocating for myself in the hospital, especially as a woman of color. My birth didn’t go as planned + was very different than what I hoped for. We felt fully supported by Sophia emotionally, their presence was very comforting + made us feel assured that someone was looking out for me + our best interests through my labor + delivery.”
