Homebirth Doula

Doula support for a home birth is a unique honor and a vital part of keeping birth sacred. Services are tailored to a home birth setting and aimed at providing that support post-birth that is essential for healing and recuperation such as care for new family, meal prep, clean up, help with older children and much more.

Columbus Ohio Homebirth Doula Support

*fees for home birth support are discounted in recognition of the fact that home birth families are most often paying out-of-pocket for their entire birth costs. My role at a home birth stays strictly in the realm of doula work as I am not a care provider and have no skills to provide midwifery care.  I do not attend planned unassisted home births as a doula. I do however love to work alongside many of the home birth community midwives.

As a doula, I can ethically commit to only 1-3 families a month so my income is naturally limited and my service prices are firm. If you are in need of a lowered service fee, let me know. Let’s have a conversation about it. I can provide my bartering options or help direct you to a trusted doula operating at a lower fee. We will find a financial plan that works.
