Top Five Benefits of Virtual Birth Support

Did you know I also provide virtual services? As a very experienced birth worker, I understand that different families have different needs AND there is not a one-size-fits all approach to improving your birth experience. Even if you choose to go without complete in-person support, there are many benefits to adding a trusted and experienced guide to your (virtual) team.

I’m currently running a Spring Sale on some of my virtual services. Read on to hear more about this exciting option and save on some valuable support.

What does this include?

My birth planning sessions are live, virtual meetings where you can get expert advice for your most pressing concerns; a pick-my-brain session if you will. Booking a birth coaching/planning session means you can talk with someone who has been there, many times, and feel confident knowing you have top tips and awareness to help you reach your goals. All coaching students will also receive access to my complete birth planning guide which is a collection of all my best doula tools and wisdom. Taking you through late pregnancy through your early postpartum days, this workbook has all the information you need to be prepared for every stage of the process.

Another way you can work with me virtually is to sign up for Virtual Doula Support. This is a more comprehensive way to get answers to your questions and guidance in real time as you plan for birth and navigate your labor.

Families who decide to work with me virtually can expect many amazing benefits. Here are my top five reasons to consider investing in yourself and adding some virtual birth planning sessions or doula services to your pregnancy prep.

1. Accessibility and flexibility: Virtual support makes doula guidance more accessible both in terms of geography and preference. Don’t live near me? No problem. Do you want some more privacy for your birth? This is a great alternative for you. Get guidance from an expert and enjoy some more confidence and practical tools to help you navigate labor on your own. Have a busy schedule and could not find the time for an in-depth class? This is an alternative where you can receive guidance and answers to your most pressing questions straight from the doula.

2. Overcome information overload. If you are trying to learn and get prepared all on your own without any direction, the internet is an overwhelming place. Sorting through endless google searches can leave you feeling more confused and nervous than ever. Depending on where you source your information, you might get advice that is fear-based and not in alignment with your wishes. Do you want to learn more about policies and “how things are done” or do you want to feel prepared to be an informed consumer so-to-speak. Working directly with me means you can access my years of experience working in all kinds of birth settings with all kinds of providers. I can help you know where to focus, what questions to ask and possible roadblocks to watch for.

Working with me means you will know what kinds of preparations to have in place to help you reach your goals.

You deserve to enjoy the day you meet your baby

3. Personalized attention: Get the benefit of working one-on-one with a doula. When you book a session, you can expect the same individualized approach that I provide for my in-person clients. I get to know you, your your preferences, fears and goals and adjust the session accordingly. I can provide information that is specific to your needs, your concerns and your wishes for labor and birth.

4. Cost-effectiveness: In this economy, I recognize that hiring an in-person doula is not an investment every person can make. I hear from families all the time who want to hire me but can not make it work financially. That is very hard on my doula heart. I believe every parent and person deserves experienced guidance and encouragement as they prepare this very big, important day in their life. If planning for an in-person doula is not possible, this is an amazing alternative for you. I know some evidence-based preparation and guidance can go a long way towards a more positive experience. A virtual option allows families a cost-effective way benefit from some personal doula guidance without over-extending their budget.

5. Comfort and convenience: Some people prefer doing things from home. It’s convenient and I totally get that! I have personally taught online childbirth class for my local hospital for the last three years. We have found that many are still interested in having an online option. We are in the information age and there is a huge benefit to being able to access a professional from home. Home is where you feel the most at ease and comfortable enough to share your thoughts, without feeling self conscious in a class or group setting. If this is you, let’s be friends!

So if you are looking for live access to a highly educated, nonjudgmental and advanced birth doula, get on my calendar for some virtual support from the comfort of home. Virtual Doula Support is a great fit for families who want a budget-conscious way to get expert advice and feel confident as they prepare for their positive birth.
