"I always knew that giving birth was a wild ride, but there is absolutely nothing in this world to describe the intensity of it all. Without the support system I had I don't think I would have birthed the way I wanted to. Even a strong willed person will come to a breaking point, & they helped me push through... Heidi is someone you NEED on your birth team... I seriously couldn't recommend her enough".
- Michaela H.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Fill a contact card, call, text, or email to schedule your complimentary meet and greet.
PRENATAL APPOINTMENTS
I take on a limited number of clients at any one time to make sure I can give you the full care and attention you deserve.I provide two 90 minute prenatal appointments to discuss the vision for your birth, and work together on a plan on how to achieve that vision. The first prenatal is the educational + informational session, where we talk about ALL of your options so you can ask questions and feel confident about your decisions with you AND your partner. The second prenatal focuses on the "hands on" work, where we practice Spinning Babies, labor positioning, comfort measures, breathing, tips + tricks, and setting up your birth space.
LABOR & DELIVERY
This is the exciting part! You get to meet your baby! I provide 24 hour on call service starting at 38 weeks until you go into labor, where I will stay with you as an advocate & support person with around the clock care until the delivery of your baby. As a doula, advocate & support person, I will come to your birth location when called (yes, even in the middle of the night or you're not positive you are in labor) + provide services until a few hours after baby is born. During labor, I will create a calm atmosphere with lighting, birth affirmation cards & music. I provide pain management techniques with rebozo, frequent labor positioning, birth affirmations, hypnobirthing techniques, Spinning Babies for optimal baby positioning, breathing instruction, and massage. I also provide optional add ons including use of a TENS machine- a drug free type of pain relief.
POSTPARTUM APPOINTMENT
The postpartum appointment takes place at your house, where we will discuss your birth & how you are adjusting to life with your newborn. Whether this is baby #1, 2, 3 or beyond, having a new baby in the house is a big adjustment with a lot of emotions, & I am there to hold space & make a plan for adjusting to this new and exciting life!
BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHY + VIDEOGRAPHY
Birth Photography and Videography can be added to birth doula services as an add-on or stand alone service.
As a birth photographer and videographer, I get to tell the story of the birth of your baby on YOUR terms. These precious moments... their entrance into the world, first time you meet your baby, their first cries and tiny features are details that you will never be able to relive again... except with Birth Story Photography + Videography.
Videography packages include a Birth Announcement trailer OR a Sneak Peek trailer before the release of your Full Cinematic Birth Film.
Sneak peeks will be delivered within one week and you will receive a full edited gallery within 4-6 weeks after baby is born.
Contact me to learn more about payment plans & affordable pricing. I know firsthand the difference a doula can make during your birth - I want to make sure everyone has access. I am open to trades as well, so please contact me with any questions, I would love to talk!
