Do you take medi-cal/ Partnership?

Yes. I am a Medi-Cal Partnership doula. I also accept 17 other insurances you can view on the insurance tab of my website. If you are not entitled doula benefits through your insurance, I offer a sliding scale. When an insurance or private pay care package is established with a set number of visits, we outline those visits with learning outcomes to equip you feeling prepared and at ease for what lies ahead.

Great- lets discuss your options for pain management and find what sounds best for you and your birthing experience. From water, TENS Units, nitrous oxide, IV pain management to epidural I support you and stand by you.

I have attended an array of births ranging from unmedicated to cesareans and everything in between. First time moms, third time moms, VBACs, advanced maternal age moms, IVF babies and more.

No. I do not replace partners or spouses. I am not only your undivided support person- I also work to help support and guide your partner on how to best support you in birthing positions and more. I have supported single mothers and women with emotionally absent partners and can navigate that accordingly as well.

what exactly do doulas do?

I am undivided support in the birth space- side by side working to bring comfort and ease to birthing women. Unlike nurses who have endless charting, pop in and out and providers who oversee medical care and check in maybe every 6 hours- I am there throughout for the entirety. I work one on one with my clients to ensure they have evidence-based research, community resource referrals, a solid birth plan, in person labor support and in-home postpartum care ranging from breastfeeding support to meal preparation and more.
