There are many benefits to having a doula who is also a registered nurse and internationally board certified lactation consultant! From the initial consultation, I utilize our time together to address your concerns and to be thorough in asking pertinent questions regarding your current state of overall being. This is how baseline information is established which is crucial for comparison later in pregnancy and postpartum. I review my clients' intake forms and get back to them shortly after with natural ways to manage pregnancy discomfort, how previous diagnoses can affect pregnancy, how to prepare their bodies for labor and so much more.
