Birth Doula Services
Birth matters.
The way you feel, and are made to feel, during labor and delivery will stay with you for the rest of your life!
At Flourish Family Doulas, we believe in your ability to birth your baby - the way you choose!
We work closely with our clients to ensure they are educated and informed before they ever feel their first contraction.
-
Our initial consultation is free and your opportunity to consult with an expert about the birth of your baby. During this time, we will discuss what you want your birth support to look like and how we at Flourish Family Doulas can help you make that a reality. We will talk about which doula may be a good fit for you and set up a visit with the doula, you think you would be best paired with.
-
At your prenatal visits we will explore what your birth wishes and philosophies are, and what the options are for comfort laboring at home and at your place of birth. You and your partner will have the opportunity to discuss your thoughts and feelings as you make decisions and we discuss options to help eliminate surprises. We will also go over postpartum and how to heal and bond with baby
-
This is the moment we have been planning and preparing for and your doula will be walking through it all with you. This is a life-changing experience and intimate time that we at Flourish Family Doulas want to honor. Your doula will be present with you at your birth location providing continuous support:
Offering comforting touch to enable relaxation
Reminding you of mindful breathing to ease the sensations
Affirming you through the challenges, and helping you remain calm
Offering a variety of positional changes to enable the progression of labor
-
Being at home with your new little one is a very exciting time. During this period, you are learning about your baby and what is it to be a parent. You may have questions or need some resources, your doula will bring their wisdom, knowledge, and unbiased understanding to your home for your postpartum follow-up visit.
-
Great for those that have experienced labor previously and don’t desire as much prenatal education, also great for repeat clients.

This is a great option for those in need of a doula, but don’t currently have one lined up.
Last minute doula services are not a replacement for full service, traditional labor support, but is a good option for last minute care.
The last minute doula service is a good option when there isn’t a full service doula available, if you had a friend or relative planning to support and they no longer can, if you are already in labor and decide you would like support or you just moved into the area and you still want birth support.
The doula available at the time your labor starts will just come to the birth and support you for the entire birth and for about 2 hours after.
There is no postpartum care with this plan, just the birth!
-
Do you wish you had a doula in your pocket? Well, we have that for you. This service will allow you to have doula support while you are living life and have questions come up.
Support can look like: prenatal education, explaining test and procedures during your prenatal care, referrals, encouragement on tough days, normal postpartum healing information, baby care information, feeding assistance, sleep encouragement, baby wearing advice, help with adjusting to new baby for pets or other siblings, going back to work, finding resources in your area, finding a new normal with work, school and so much more. You will be matched with a doula that is fully qualified and has the skills that you need and a style you enjoy.
