Doula Essentials
Doula Essentials offers a unique and personalized approach to childbirth education and planning, tailored to your specific needs and preferences. This lite version of doula care ensures a strong connection while providing comprehensive assistance throughout your pregnancy journey.
With Doula Essentials, you will receive the following:
Two In-home Prenatal Visits: We will meet in the comfort of your own home to discuss your birth plan and address any concerns or questions you may have.
Birth Plan Assistance: I will guide you in creating a customized birthing plan that aligns with your wishes and preferences. We will discuss various aspects, including positioning and coping strategies for each stage of labor.
Childbirth Education: Unlike traditional childbirth ed classes that cover only the basics, Doula Essentials delves into what truly matters to you and your family. We will explore topics relevant to your unique situation, ensuring you are well-prepared for your birth and postpartum.
Ongoing Support: Throughout your pregnancy, you can rely on me for support via phone, email, and text messaging. I am here to answer your questions, offer guidance, and provide reassurance whenever you need it.
Breastfeeding and Postpartum Preparation: I will assist you in preparing for the postpartum period, including guidance on breastfeeding. You will receive valuable information and resources to ensure a smooth transition into this new phase of parenthood.
Tailored Birth Advice and Guidance: If you have specific preferences, such as desiring an unmedicated birth at a hospital, I will share my experience with the particular hospital's protocols. Together, we will identify areas where you can advocate for your preferences and discuss topics to address with your healthcare provider in advance. For example, we can cover position suggestions if labor slows down and strategies to minimize unwanted interventions if that is important to you.
Please note: Doula Essentials does not include my physical presence at your birth.

Postpartum Doula Support
Intuitive Path Postpartum Doula Care provides resources, guidance, and physical and emotional support as you navigate your fourth trimester. Helping you lean into your intuition to discover who you are as a parent and rediscover yourself. From nourishing meals to light household support, lactation/feeding assistance to sleep support, being a postpartum doula is a bit like Mary Poppins with her magic carpet bag. Having walked with 3-4 families per month since early 2016, I have navigated this season with many incredible new parents who are on this path you are just embarking on.
As your doula, your mental health is my priority. I set aside time with every visit and check-in to ensure that you have the compassionate emotional care you need to navigate this new season with as much ease as possible.
Your Postpartum (Daytime and Overnight) Doula Support is $45/hr.
2-hr. daytime minimum, 8-hr. overnight minimum.
Lactation Support
The beginning of your lactation and breastfeeding story can feel a bit rocky. Cracked nipples, cluster feeding, nipple shields, feeding schedules, and engorged glands leave many an exhausted parent overwhelmed and searching for help.
Lactation support is a key piece to your successful infant feeding journey. As a postpartum doula serving families in the Walla Walla Valley since early 2016, and supporting up to 4 families per month, I love supporting you and your baby’s feeding bond.
If you’ve decided it’s time to wean, for personal or medical reasons, I can help to create a plan that works with your timeline without ignoring the potential physical and emotional challenges for you and your baby.
Your in-home or virtual lactation support visit is $75/hr.
1 hr. minimum
While I recognize the value and investment of the services I provide, I believe that a supported birth experience should be accessible to everyone. Please ask about my Scholarship Fund and flexible payment options.
