Chapel Hill Birth Education & Doula Support Services

When I approach a client’s needs, it is within the context and awareness that we are shaped by our past experiences, families of origin, and our environment. Within this framework, I am able to better understand the influences and unique needs of an individual during a time of deep transformation.

I recognize that pregnancy, birth, and postpartum change a person forever on physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual levels. So too, it transforms the caregiver.

A unique opportunity to tap into the wisdom of a seasoned doula.

Are you wanting to become a doula and ready to take a deep dive into exploring what that really means? Are you a newer doula looking for guidance on your journey with birthwork? This is a structured hour with time for answering your questions and setting goals for the evolution of your work in the community.

Doula Coaching $80/HR

Our connection and work begins with a coaching call or coffee date. This initial meeting is to explore how I can assist you on your doula journey. Sometimes newer doulas need advice on how to launch into the local birth community and start booking clients. Other times, a more experienced doula might feel stuck or burnt out and need connection and direction for their birth business! Whether its a one time session, the beginning of ongoing checkins for support, having an accountability buddy, or the beginning of a collaboration, I’m excited to be part of your story!

In person Coffee Dates* $150/1.5 Hrs

Prefer to meet in person? I’d love to! Let’s schedule a time for coffee or tea to discuss what’s happening in your corner of the birthworker world! Let’s set goals & talk strategy. You’ve got this!

*I am scheduling coffee/tea dates starting in June
