I believe COMPLETELY in this support, please let me know if there is anything I may help you with that is not offered here. Payment plans are available. I would rather work something out with you than have you go without a Doula. My fee for the above services is $1000. Your insurance company MAY cover the cost of a Doula, please contact them directly.

Birth Plan Preparation - I have a worksheet that will help you create a birth plan. We will discuss the risks and benefits of many routine interventions and help you create a birth plan that's right for your family.
Support for you and your partner through labor, birth, and up to 2 hours after delivery (if I am needed) I will provide physical, informational and emotional support for both you and your partner and I can help you with breastfeeding should you choose this route (I am NOT a certified lactation specialist, but I was a breastfeeding and pumping mom for 13 months).
Birth story (upon request) - I create a written account of your labor and baby's birth which I will present to you during a postpartum visit.
For no additional charge, I can provide your friends and family with a picture of your new family and baby via email. As soon as I return from your birth, I will send the email to your friends and family with the addresses you provided.
Birth Videography/Photography - If you like, I will take pictures of your labor and birth with your camera or I can use my digital camera and/or video camera. I charge a small fee for providing you with a disk. For an edited Video on DVD, please visit Moments to Remember.
Unlimited email and phone support - I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by phone and email from the date of hire. Please do not hesitate to call if you have ANY questions or just want to update me on your progress!
2 prenatal visits - These are scheduled for us to get to know each other better, to create your birth plan and to see if we are a good fit. You are under NO OBLIGATION to hire me. We will discuss your plans for birth and other options and procedures. I will then put it all on computer, giving you a copy and bringing a copy to the hospital or birthing center.
Childbirth Class attendance - should your partner be unable to attend a class with you, I will fill in for him/her (if I'm available).
Postpartum visits - At our prenatal meetings will also discuss postpartum visits. Usually, I come to the hospital the day after your baby is born to visit, then to your home on an agreed upon day to see you and baby and answer any questions your new family may have. This is usually between the second day at home and 2 weeks after the birth. Should the day or time need to be changed, please call or email.
Optimal Fetal Positioning - This class is designed to help you learn techniques that may help your baby into the optimal position leading to a shorter, less painful labor. It is included in the price, however it is optional.
Coping Techniques - The birth ball is a great tool for coping with labor. There are many positions we can use with the birth ball.
Supported Squat A doula can help remind the couple about positions that can help with pain and discomfort during the mom's particular phase of labor.
I DO NOT take the place of your partner; rather, I assist BOTH of you through the most precious and intimate moment of your lifetime.
Labor doulas are becoming more known throughout the Denver Metro area, but do you really KNOW what a labor doula is? A labor doula is there to help the mother cope with labor and birth using physical, emotional, and informational support. She is also there to help the mother's partner to take breaks, eat, sleep, and help the partner use techniques for supporting the laboring mom; making the birth not only special for mom, but special for her partner as well. The labor doula is part of the "birth team" and will provide much needed encouragement, guidance, and comfort that is rarely achieved in a hospital without a doula. With techniques practiced before labor begins and using those techniques during labor, you may have a shorter birth, less requests for pain medication, and less chance for a c-section.
