I accept all major credit cards, e-checks, and cash. You can also use your HSA/FSA plan for doula services.

Birth Story Processing

Many people feel confused or disappointed by their birth experience, or they just need help sorting out the details. Talking about your birth with a doula who is a skilled listener can help. Using a trauma-informed approach, I provide compassionate peer-to-peer support, where we identify the parts of your story that are causing you distress.

Whether you just need to be heard and validated or have specific questions and need help understanding certain events, a birth processing session can take you from confusion to clarity. Birth processing is available to anyone (birthing persons, partners, doulas, etc.).

COST: One 90-minute session $175, additional sessions for $125.
