    Pricing packages

    Childbirth Classes
    $ 225
    Two 2-hour classes that offer you and your partner or labor companion the chance to understand childbirth and all its simple intricacies, and learn how to support during labor. We will also discuss options for handling the changing discomforts of labor. We keep our classes small to give you the intentional focus your pregnancy deserves. You will practice methods such as breathing techniques, relaxation, and visualization for coping with contraction/ waves/surges. Each session is cumulative and builds off of the previous one. Each couple receives a copy of the childbirth curriculum for independent learning and exploration. (Available virtually upon request)

    Birth Companion Session
    $ 125
    A 60-minute in-person or virtual session designed to prepare the birthing partner for what they may experience in the delivery space, as well as equipping them with the skills, tools and knowledge to know how and when to best assist their laboring person. It focuses primarily on the language and evolution of labor, key points of the birth plan and your role as companion and advocate. This session can be used as a moment of safe communication with me as their doula and team mate. So often in pregnancy, the partner can feel forgotten or just not as important. More than that, they can feel unprepared, insecure, & vulnerable. Having a time set aside for partners to vent and gain insight can really connect a bridge of communication and empathy.

      Natasha was the perfect introduction to how amazing postpartum doula care can be. Natasha was a huge help when our family of 3 became a family of 4 this past August. She is like a ninja in all trades … do you need help recovering from delivery? Or someone to engage and play with your toddler? Or a friend to chat to about all the things in life? Or a massage? Help with breastfeeding and pumping? Or some amazing meal prep? Natasha would read the situation when she arrived and then adapt and would often be more intune with what I needed then even I knew. She was such an important and joyful part to the story of our child’s transition into this world and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering postpartum doula care.

      A beautiful soul. Natasha carried me through my darkest moments and continue to as a friend. It was really hard to go through pregnancy when family was far away and she was close to home for me as a companion, a friend and a spiritual coach.
