​Prenatal Visits

Consist of 2 or more meetings where we are given the chance to:
​

CONNECT and get to know each other better

EXPLORE your hopes, concerns, and visions regarding your birth
​
IDENTIFY your unique desires and needs in relation to your birth

Upon the point of joining your birth team, Serena is available during her office hours for text, phone, and email support as well as access to our resource library. You are encouraged to contact me with any questions and updates throughout your prenatal period. When we enter the on-call period, we are her for you night and day, two weeks before and after your estimated due date. If you find that you need additional support or services that we are unable to provide, we can provide you with referrals and an extensive resource list. 
​I offer 3 Doula Packages with details below:


Service Checklist:

Picture
​Postpartum Support

​After the excitement and preparations for birth, comes the adventure of integrating your newborn into your life! There are many transitions that come in these first few days: your uterus shrinks at a rapid rate, your breasts become engorged as lactation begins, your vagina heals from the stretching of birth, your kidneys and liver are now processing a sudden and large influx of hormones, and it is a time to adjust to a new sleep pattern. 

Between 3-10 days after you give birth I will come to your home for two (or more) postpartum visits. During these visits we discuss your birth experience, provide postpartum resources, address any concerns and/or questions and present you with your birth timeline and photos.  To learn more about what we share postpartum, visit our page Postpartum Doula Services.
