Doula Services
Birth + Postpartum Plans
Congratulations! Let's work together for your birth and postpartum needs!
Gabrielle's doula services are designed to have both your birth and postpartum needs in mind. Prenatal sessions will provide opportunities to explore how your birth decisions can influence your postpartum needs, and how your postpartum decisions can influence your birth vision. As your doula, my goal is to help you and your birth partner reduce stress and provide the birth and postpartum support you desire.
A Good Start Package
Labor and Postpartum Support - $1,200.00
This package is for parents-to-be who are interested in prenatal planning, continuous labor support, and postpartum care. Great for first time parents, parents-to-be interested in breastfeeding, those wanting continuity of postpartum care, and birthing couples who desire additional support and advocacy, this package includes:
Unlimited email and phone support during pregnancy and the first three months postpartum
Three to Four Prenatal Sessions
-
You will receive evidence-based information to help you consider your options for your Vision, Values, and Village.
-
You will receive support navigating important conversations with your care provider to make the most of your prenatal visits
-
You will have support as you prepare a written birth plan and create a postpartum plan
-
You will learn techniques that support your comfort during labor and receive support in preparing for postpartum needs
Designed to include both you and your birth partner, these sessions will help you consider how best to use the remainder of your pregnancy to prepare for your birth experience and postpartum transition.
Continuous Labor Support
-
I will be on call for your birth two weeks before your estimated due date and two weeks after, as needed
-
I will be available to assist you and your birth partner during early labor by phone or in person, depending on your care plans
-
During active labor until birth, I will support you and your birth partner with comfort measures, emotional support, and care as needed to advocate for your birth plan
From early labor to active labor, I will be providing you and your birth partner with the emotional and physical support needed to help you work as a team and facilitate your birth desires.
Immediate and In-Home Postpartum Care
-
After your birth, I will help you begin bonding and breastfeeding within your immediate postpartum period, and will check-in within 48 hours before you leave the hospital
-
I will provide two postpartum in-home sessions within the first two months, scheduled based on your needs. These sessions can include but are not limited to, breastfeeding support and encouragement, sleep support, and organizational and household support.
When your newborn has arrived, I will continue to provide care to you and your birth partner to support your postpartum transition.

Financial Considerations
There are Options to Afford Doula Care!
Gabrielle is dedicated to trying to support women and families in meaningful ways, and is happy to discuss your financial considerations and questions. Gabrielle can work with clients to establish payment plans and can talk with you about your specific needs.
Scholarship For Expecting Black Families
Gabrielle offers a gift-in-kind scholarship opportunity to African American mothers and families to encourage accessibility to doula support and care. As our nation continues to recognize racially disparate health outcomes for black maternal and infant care, Gabrielle wants to see black women and their family feel empowered in the birth space and encouraged that their Vision, Values, Village, and Voice matter.
