HDNYC Services

support for your holistic pregnancy, empowered birth, and optimal recovery

TRAVEL AND EXCLUSIVE ARRANGEMENTS

  1. If you have a bicoastal life but want the consistency of one doula, or simply want my services locally for longer term exclusive support, send me an email and let’s talk about it. I love providing quality, comprehensive support and education, and if you are looking for a true partner for your holistic pregnancy and family life, we might be a great match.


PAYMENT

  1. You can pay me by cash or check, or I can invoice you through PayPal so that you can use a credit card. There is a 3% fee for using a credit card.


ANYTHING ELSE?

  1. If there is something else for which you are seeking support let me know and we will explore if it is something I can offer or for which I can provide a referral.

  1. LABOR SUPPORT PACKAGE

  2. ANTEPARTUM/BEDREST SUPPORT

As a registered professional nurse (RN) I am qualified and licensed to help you to maintain or regain good health. RNs diagnose and treat responses to health problems, perform health assessments, and teach and counsel on health issues.

I am a graduate of Columbia University School of Nursing, a former labor and delivery nurse, and a member of the American Holistic Nurses Association. My approach is comprehensive, holistic, and integrative.


PROJECT GLOW PRE-PREGNANCY PREPARATION

  1. In your first Project Glow appointment we will get to know one another and discuss where you are mind, body, and spirit, and where you would like to be.

  2. In your second Project Glow appointment we will discuss the health issues that surfaced in our initial appointment and some ways you may consider addressing them.

  3. Pre-pregnancy health counseling and teaching can include a vast number of things, for instance: healthy diet, fertility, addressing the effects of a history of birth control pills or smoking, and daily practices that bring balance and decrease stress.

  4. The number of follow up appointments you will have is flexible, based on your needs. My goal is to empower you to optimize your own health, and to be available to support you when you need it.

  5. Fee: email to discuss


HOLISTIC PREGNANCY SERVICES FOR MAMAS-TO-BE

  1. In your first Holistic Pregnancy appointment we will get to know one another and assess your current state of health how you are adjusting to your pregnancy.

  2. In your second Holistic Pregnancy appointment, we will discuss the health issues that surfaced in our initial appointment and some ways you may consider addressing them.

  3. Each woman is unique, as is each pregnancy. We will work together to determine what holistic health teaching and counseling would be of benefit to your particular situation.

LABOR SUPPORT PACKAGE

Click here for a blog post I wrote that will give you a better look at how this all really works!

  1. Complimentary phone call or meeting to get to know each other better, answer any questions you may have, and determine if we’re a good match.

  2. If after our call or meeting you decide that you would like to work together you will pay a retainer fee and I will be committed to be your doula.

  3. We will have one or two prenatal visits in your home, probably in the last 3 - 6 weeks of your pregnancy. After you have completed your childbirth education classes is best. (You can take classes with me for ultimate ease! More info about classes is here.)

  4. Unlimited phone and email support, including check ins with me after each prenatal appointment with your midwife or obstetrician so that I’m up-to-date on how you’re doing and feeling.

  5. I will be on call 24/7 from 2 weeks before your due date until your delivery, with back up if needed.

  6. As soon as you begin early labor, you will call to let me know and we’ll make sure you’ve put your early labor plan into motion. Once active labor has begun, I will join you until 1 - 2 hours after the birth, including your 1st breastfeeding.

  7. We will have a check in call the day after you deliver.

  8. Finally, we will have a postpartum visit in your home after your delivery. During that visit I can admire your baby, review your birth with you if you like, and talk about anything else related to our experience together and your new family life.

  9. My fee is $2000, with one half due as a retainer. You will receive a detailed contract outlining how we will work together.


ANTEPARTUM/BED REST SUPPORT

  1. If you have been put on bed rest you can use extra support. Many of the same techniques doulas use to support women through labor can be used to soothe pre-labor nerves. I am available to offer Reiki, light massage, hand massage, aromatherapy, visualization, uninterrupted listening, or to pick up healthy and delicious groceries or meals if you are at home or in the hospital.

  2. Please email me if you would like to discuss a personalized plan based on your unique situation.

  3. Late pregnancy support is a wonderful gift to give.
