Inclusive Pregnancy, Birth and Healthcare Support in Columbus, Ohio
Virtual Doula Services
I will always prefer to meet my clients in person and offer that one-on-one support that is needed during labor and birth. This is a very strange time for birth environments. With the rise of COVID-19 virus, hospitals are limiting visitors and birth attendants. I am going to do my best to help you through this from a distance. I am decreasing my rates accordingly and offering this digital support option to try to get people the support they need within their budgets while maintaining safety protocol.
Stay safe, and I hope to see you soon. We can use this service to support folks from anywhere with reliable internet.
​
Payment plans, occasional discounts, and bartering options are available. If you need a doula and are worried about funding, please reach out to see what we can work out together. Special consideration offered to teen, single, and/or transgender parents.
