intake pathway

  • Fill out the contact form on my website sharing what pregnancy experience you are having and I will reach out to you to schedule a consultation within 24 hours.

  • The consultation is like a first date where we will explore if what you are seeking and what I am offering is a good match.

    We will discuss what a doula is, what doula support you are seeking, what doula support I can offer, and what you are looking for in a doula.

  • If you wish to partner with me, I will send you an intake packet with my Intake, Mutual Agreements, and Consent to Bill Insurance Forms to complete before our first visit.

  • In our initial visit we will go in depth into where you are at in your pregnancy experience, identify what your needs are, and shape a doula care plan just for you.
