Yes! I have birth doula certification through Doula Versity International.

I have completed the Spinning Babies for birth workers certification course. There is great value is understanding the role of the body, the position of the baby, labor progress and how all of these fit together to make informed decisions in labor, including body positioning.

Birth begins in the brain. That’s where we will start our prenatal conversations. Understanding the brain’s crucial role in birth then allows us to have conversations about movement, comfort measures, pain relief, and everything in between!
-
We’ll have at least two prenatal sessions where we prepare holistically - we’ll talk about the mind, our emotions and fears, childbirth education, ideal support, and how to achieve your desired birth outcomes. Each session is approximately 2 hours in length.
I love the prenatal sessions! We laugh, we plan, we dream, we hold space for fears, we become a team quickly - all for the benefit of you and your sweet babe! -
Kingsley Birth Collective uses a flexible pricing model designed to make doula support accessible to more families.
A $450 non-refundable deposit is due when you book. This covers your prenatal support and two prenatal appointments and reserves your due date.
After your birth and postpartum support are complete, the remaining investment is $1,000–$1,400, paid according to your ability or desire to contribute. There is no need to determine that amount upfront—payment is discussed at your postpartum visit.
Payment plans are also available when needed.
In other words: you don't have to decide today what you can afford to pay for your birth and postpartum support. I trust you to make that decision after you've experienced the care you receive.

I hear you - you’ve got a plan for this baby’s arrival and wonder how necessary a doula is to make it happen. Would it surprise you to know that half of my clients plan for an epidural? There are still so many ways to support you, even if you choose pain medication. This includes supporting informed decisions throughout delivery, body positioning with an epidural to optimize baby’s position and descent, emotional support, and a postpartum presence.
Also, some epidurals don’t work as planned and having a Plan B is always helpful! -
