Every pregnancy is different as are the support and education needs for each birthing person and their partner. Now more than ever, in light of the current global Covid-19 pandemic, it is clear that a variety of support and education options are needed to equip expectant parents with the knowledge and know how to navigate the birth space without the presence of in-person labor support. Fortunately, prenatal education and support with The Dope Doula is totally customizable, 100% virtual and can begin as early in your pregnancy as you would like.
​
Prenatal Support is something all pregnant individuals and expectant couples should consider, but may be an especially good fit if:
-
You have minimal knowledge about pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period
-
You aren't interested in hiring a doula for virtual support
-
You are a first time parent
-
You are planning a cesarean birth

​
Perinatal loss is something most parents never want to even think about. In the event that the unthinkable becomes a reality, compassionate, respectful care is available for you and your family. Support during and after your baby's birth is offered in the same manner that it would be in a live birth, unless you specify the preference to approach this sensitive time differently. In the days and weeks that follow, I'll assist with planning arrangements and connecting you to local and online resources, including therapy and spiritual guidance to help bring some solace in this time of grief.
​
Every parent experiencing a perinatal loss deserves nurturing, supportive care. This includes parents experiencing:
-
Miscarriage
-
Stillbirth
-
Neonatal Death

Look no further for non-judgemental, respectful and nurturing abortion support. As a pro-choice birthworker, I believe you deserve access to the information and support necesary to make informed, sound decisions about your reproductive wellness. During our initial consultation, we'll discuss the various methods of abortion and resources available to you before developing a plan of action. Depending on the method used, I will either provide virtual support during and/or after the procedure and offer weekly follow up check ins for up to 1 month after.
​
Abortion services are available to anyone undergoing an elective termination of pregnancy, including:
-
Medical Abortions
-
Surgical Abortions
