Meet & Greet 

Schedule your meet & greet anytime between 12-42 weeks. We will chat for about 30 minutes to help decide if we are a good fit working together. 

Our Meetings

During out prenatal visits, we will chat about many things! This is a time for me to get to know you better. Understand your hopes, dreams, traditions and fears around childbirth. We will take a peek at your birth plan, find out which hands on comfort measures you enjoy, or go over some positioning we may want to try out in labor to help baby into ideal positioning! If there's anything else you've heard about that you'd like more insight on, our prenatal is the time.

Our Timeline 

On-Call

Starting at 37 weeks, my doula bag is packed and I am ready to meet you in labor. That may be at your home or where you're planning to deliver. I will support you virtually until you are ready for more hands on or in person care.

Labor & Delivery

I will be with you continuously through labor, delivery and up to 2 hours postpartum. Care looks different for every person. Advocacy, Emotional and Physical Support are at the core for both birthing person and partner. From breathing with you, to providing hands-on comforting touch and massage, to holding the space for moments alone or with your partner, being your doula can look many different ways.

Postpartum

Once you are home, usually within the first week, I come by for up to 3 hours. We can use this time for various things. Debriefing the haze that is birth, setting up your pump, learning how to sterilize bottles or attending baby so you can get some uninterrupted sleep to name a few. Above all it is a great time to touch base to make sure you have the resources handy to support you during such a transformative time.  

Complimentary Meet & Greet

Support starts with a complimentary meet & greet virtual call. This gives us both the opportunity to see if we're the right fit. Bring your questions and be ready to answer some about your pregnancy you may have not thought about yet.

Testimony

"Kristina was such a wonderful addition and asset to our birth team. We engaged with Kristina fairly late in our pregnancy journey when things really seemed to get overwhelming quickly. Kristina served as the best sounding board, listening to our concerns, helping us understand and organize our choices and questions and providing guidance and support as we put together our birth plan. My birth did not go as planned and took many twists and turns unexpectedly. Kristina was our calm in the storm--making sure we were informed and listened to every step of the way. We are so grateful to have had her support through our journey and cannot recommend her more highly!"
