As a Holistic Doula I fully support Births in the most natural ways possible: From choosing to go all natural, refusing vaccinations, unnecessary medical interventions, The Lotus Birth, and breastfeeding I will provide answers and research to support your decisions. I am not here to change your mind and I will support your well informed choices. However, I cannot offer massage until after 30 days from your last vaccination.
I have an acupressure protocol to bring your baby down during labor, another to reduce pain and keep contractions consistent when it is time to push, and an acupressure point to lessen pain but strengthen the contraction while pushing. Your labor and delivery will decrease by hours and will result in a better chance of no pharmaceutical interventions.
If you make more that $5200 per month and do not qualify for Pregnancy Medi-cal I offer a sliding scale for 2 prenatal appointments, Labor and Delivery and a 2 hour postpartum visit to discuss your birth experience, and provided resources for future care.
This scale is $1500- $2500
I have been a Doula since January 2023 and I have attended several births.
I have been a massage therapist for 23 years and a hypnotherapist for 15 years. I have 5 Star Customer Service training and attentive care towards my clients. I fully embrace my identity as a Doula because this is what I do; I take care of people. I have a 24 year old daughter, a 22 year old daughter and a 10 month old granddaughter. I have taken care of many children, elderly, and special education adults. I live a holistic lifestyle with a love for God and the planet. I will pray with you, chant mantras with you, and surround you with love. You will be taken care of in my hands.
