What I Do
As a Doula, I see birth beyond medical terms or social responsibility. Pregnancy and Childbirth is an experience and beautifully powerful journey that a woman embarks on organically. With Black women having a higher mortality rate due to childbirth and higher rates of suffering from Childhood Sexual Abuse trauma, my Doula services provide care/comfort, guidance, and mental, emotional, physical, and informational support for you throughout your pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and postpartum.
Services Include:
Prenatal sessions with Halle
- Education Sessions
- Planning for labor, birth, and postpartum
- Discuss birth plan, interventions, and mom’s needs
- 1 to 2 hour session with mother, partner, or support
- Planning for labor, birth, and postpartum
- Discussion of challenges (mental, emotional, and physical)
Throughout Pregnancy
- Ongoing support throughout pregnancy, during labor and birth
- 24/7 on call at 38 weeks via text, email, or phone
- Optional Prenatal visits with OB or Midwife
After birth
- Based on the mom’s needs, I will stay 1 or 2 hours after the birth of the baby
- Optional Postpartum Visits (1 to 2 visits)
