At Hallelujah Birth Co., my mission is simply to empower, educate, prepare & support you & your partner throughout your childbirth journey. Every mama’s journey looks different & it’s my dream to cater my services to meet your individual needs. As you explore the services below, think of them as a rough outline & know if you have something different in mind, we can work together to curate a package that feels perfect for you.
A Holistic Pregnancy & Birth Practitioner is a combination of a holistic health coach, doula, and birth companion. The word doula literally means “a woman who serves,” & that’s my heart in this space. To serve you & your family by offering trained, professional labor & birth support to empower your journey & advocate for you along the way. As a Holistic Pregnancy & Birth Practitioner, my focus is centered around holistic wellness & addressing the entire journey towards parenthood rather than only the birthing process. I received traditional doula training as well as comprehensive training in all aspects of the birthing process including hormone optimization during preconception, pregnancy and postpartum; optimal nutrition for fertility, healthy child development and lactation; coordinating care between doctors, nurses, and families, setting up an alternative birth environment; and evidence-based lifestyle practices for optimal health throughout all phases. With my broad knowledge base, I can support you & your family from the moment you decide you’d like to have a baby, through the early stages of conception, your entire pregnancy, birth & postpartum. I understand the intricacies of hormonal fluctuations, the impact of nutrition on prenatal health & fertility awareness & these are fundamental pillars of my doula support. As your Pregnancy & Birth Practitioner, we have a unique opportunity to work together throughout your entire childbirth journey, building a strong, foundational relationship & I would be honored to join you on your transformative experience.
package 1: all the birth things
If you’re looking for only birth prep & support, this package is for you! We will get together twice during your third trimester to prepare for your birth. During the first meeting we will discuss your hopes for your birth & create a clear birth plan. I will ensure you are informed of your choices at birth whether you are birthing at home or in the hospital. We will also work together to design a birth space that you feel safe & peaceful in. During our second meeting, we’ll go through laboring positions, pain relief techniques & alternative pain relief tinctures, oils & herbs. I will be on call for your birth from 38-41 weeks & will join you at your home or the hospital when active labor begins. I will support you both physically & emotionally for the length of your labor, during your delivery & until your baby finishes their first feed. I will provide a nourishing meal immediately following birth for home births & at your first home visit for hospital births. I will visit you & baby two days postpartum & again two weeks postpartum. During these visits, I will assist you with feeding & caring for baby, as well as process your labor & delivery experience with you. Additional visits can be added during pregnancy to prepare for, attend or process your prenatal appointments together or postpartum for further care.
The birth & beyond package includes everything in package 1 as well as postpartum support for 12 weeks! I believe planning for postpartum is just as important as planning for your birth. In our society today, postpartum is very undervalued. It’s as if once baby is here, everyone on the outside thinks the childbirth journey is over. Mama’s get very little support, are encouraged to return to their “normal” lives, are given very little resources & often feel so much pressure to act like everything is okay even if they’re falling to pieces inside. As your postpartum doula, I will ensure that isn’t happening to you. I will show up as your village in a myriad of ways including caring for baby, lactation counseling, sleep support, hormone & emotional support, big sibling help, meal prep, light housekeeping & more. This package includes 12 two & a half hour postpartum visits (14 total), which can span over the course of 4, 6 or 12 weeks depending on your needs. Add on visits are available & can be planned for ahead of time or added at the time of need.
package 2: birth & beyond
I believe having consistent support throughout your pregnancy can make a world of difference in your experience as well as how you perceive or anticipate pregnancy in the future. In addition, spending ample time preparing your body, mind & soul for birth will absolutely change the trajectory of your childbirth journey as a whole. With the belly, birth & beyond package, you will receive all of the components of the birth & beyond package, as well as 9 additional in home visits in which we will work together throughout your pregnancy to ensure your whole being is prepared for birth & postpartum. We will focus on your nutrition (including meal plans & recipes for nourishing meals), your minerals & supplementing with whole foods, removing toxins from your home & creating an optimal environment for your new baby, managing pregnancy symptoms in natural ways, optimizing your sleep, mindfulness & visualization, stretching & moving your body & envisioning the childbirth experience you desire. Late in your third trimester, we will also work together to get or keep baby in the ideal position through belly mapping & spinning babies. * This package is ideally for mama’s in their first or second trimesters, however, if you are already in your third trimester & would still like to work together to cover these topics, we can work out a fast track plan for you!
package 3: belly, birth & beyond
This is for the mama who wants it all. From pre-conception through twelve weeks postpartum. Ideally, we’d start working together at least three months prior to conception to prepare your body & your home for pregnancy. We will discuss optional mineral testing and/or labs to better understand what exactly your body needs & will focus on optimizing your diet, removing toxins from your home & creating self care habits that will assist you throughout your pregnancy journey. This package includes everything in the belly, birth & beyond package, as well as 6 additional visits focused on pre-conception. With the from the beginning package, no part of your childbirth journey will be missed.
package 4: from the beginning
The Beyond Birth package is for the mama who needs extra support during postpartum. This package includes 12 two & a half hour postpartum visits, which can span over the course of 4, 6 or 12 weeks depending on your needs. It’s my hope during postpartum care to “mother the mother,” meaning I will care for you in whatever ways you need,
*Overnight support is available but is not included in this package.
package 5: beyond birth
