Richelle P. | Birth Doula in Slidell, LA

$ Flexible

The Burrow Apothecary and Birth Services

Practice overview

My practice varies between each client, because each client has different needs. I like to have a meeting where I sit down and get to know the families I’m working with, understand their desires, and exactly what they are looking for in a doula, and then become that exact person they need. There is no “one size fits all” in families and I make sure that my practice adapts to your precise needs. I am not only a birth and postpartum doula however. I also have certification as a Master Herbalist and a Professional Aromatherapist which allows me to give you extra help during pregnancy and birth.

Richelle is so understanding and does not hesitate to meet your needs and wants. I meet her when I was maybe 3 months along with my son. She is very sweet and my family loves her. Richellr sent herbs to help with my nausea and headaches because I wanted to be as natural as possible with my pregnancy. She always checked in and gave much needed advice. We lived almost 2 hours away but we managed it to get our meetings in. On the day I went into labor with my son she dropped everything and came to my home to help get the contractions going and walk me through the labor pains. The hospital only let 1 support person be in the room (that was my husband) so she stayed on the phone and advocated for me. Richelle is the best and if it wasn’t for her my labor and delivery would not have been so easy.
