Add-On Services

---

A birth doula is a trained professional who provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum period. My role is to help you feel informed, confident, and supported throughout your birth journey.

No. We do not provide medical care or replace your healthcare provider. We will work alongside your medical team to provide comfort measures, education, advocacy support, and encouragement.

Many families hire a doula during the second trimester, but it’s never too late. We recommend booking early, especially if your due date falls during busy seasons. (July-October). 

We serve families throughout our service area which is The High Country of NC and am happy to discuss travel for clients outside our standard coverage area (The Triad , The Piedmont, Charlotte Metro, & The foothills). 

Absolutely! Doulas support all types of births, including medicated, unmedicated, induced, cesarean, VBAC, and high-risk births (when appropriate).

Yes. We support births in hospitals, birth centers, and planned home births. 

Once active labor begins or you feel you need continuous support, we will come to you and remain with you through birth and the initial postpartum bonding period.

Support may include:

• Breathing techniques
• Labor positioning
• Counter pressure
• Massage
• Hip squeezes
• Birth ball exercises
• Peanut ball positioning

In the rare event of an emergency or illness, every effort will be made to arrange qualified backup support if available.
