Additional Services
BIRTH PLAN CONSULTATION
$150
I will send you a questionnaire to go over and send back to me via email. We can discuss options, and I can give links to resources to assist you in making informed decisions in your care. We will then meet in person to finalize your birth goals sheet and go over any other concerns regarding your birth planning.

Pricing includes a fabric belly binding wrap. I will meet with you and offer support in learning how to do a self wrapped postpartum belly binding to support your pelvic floor and abdomen after birth. If you've had a surgical birth, you will need clearance from a doctor before trying belly binding. I will also send links to other methods and informational articles on belly binding via email.
POSTPARTUM HELPER VISIT

I will come to your home and assist you with promoting self care, baby care, and light home keeping or meal preparation to ensure you have time to bond and rest with your baby. This includes feeding support according to your chosen methods, self care reminders and support, help setting up a routine or plan, diapering, naps, or pre-arranged grocery orders and pickups. This does not include sibling care aside from meal prep. Please message me to discuss sibling care options and availability. Daytime hours. 3 hour block for $75, $20 per hour after.
Please note that I will not change diapers on surgical wounds or do wound dressing for infants.

I will come to your home and help you to make a plaster strip cast of your pregnant belly/torso for a keepsake. This includes basic materials needed to do the cast and the application of the plaster cast to your body along with basic cleanup of the project area involved afterward. If you'd like me to cosmetically finish and prepare your belly or decorate it, there will be an additional fee of $50 to $200 depending on elective additions and supplies needed.
Life and Planning Doula

Need help planning out your adulting, homecare routine, healthcare organizing, or a project and setting reminders for executing your plans? Need to make some lists, tackle a project, set up a plan for phone calls and appointments, make a home care routine, or organize your space and your brain? Do you think you may like using binders, planners, and/or charts? I've done -all the things- as a neurodivergent person and am happy to help you get to where you'd like to be with the resources that I've found and methods that I've tried. Email for a consultation to see what we can come up with for you and your specific planning and organizational support needs.

This could be assisting with safe mobility according to your orders, light housekeeping and errand support, meal prep, and potential transportation to related appointments.
