Services

Labor doula supporting a homebirth

As a certified Labor Doula and VBAC Specialist, I provide emotional, informational, and physical support throughout pregnancy, labor, and early postpartum. I help you prepare and plan for your labor, I am by your side as you welcome your baby into the world, and I help with the first feed, if desired. Labor support also includes one postpartum visit to discuss your experience, assist with any early challenges that may arise, and of course… celebrate you and your baby!

Billing

As an SLP, I am an out-of-network provider, which gives us the ability to start therapeutic support today without delay, and allows us the opportunity for more time together with more personalized care. I provide a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance, if desired. Check in with your insurance company to ask about out-of-network coverage. Many clients receive reimbursements this way!
