Looking for a traditional birth doula?

Congratulations, you’ve found her!

What is a traditional birth doula?

A doula is someone who provides continuous emotional, physical and informational support to a birthing woman before, during and shortly after childbirth. The role of a doula is to help create a positive, empowering birth experience by offering non-medical assistance.

As your doula I will provide emotional support via encouragement, reassurance and be a calming presence in your space.

I can provide physical support via comfort measures through things like breathing techniques, positioning, applying counter pressure and suggesting movement to ease labor pains.

I can also offer informational support by providing you evidence based information about birth options and medical procedures to help you make informed decisions about your birth and labor.

A DOULA DOES NOT PERFORM MEDICAL OR CLINICAL TASKS OR GIVE MEDICAL ADVICE.

Offerings

Full Service Doula Support

$1,000*

Traditional Doula Support

  • Unlimited number of prenatal visits - this can be determined by you! As someone showing up for you in your birth, I want you to feel a connection with me. These visits can look like a typical prenatal with both parents, a coffee or dinner date just us, or even a playdate with our kids. Ultimately my goal is for us to know each other and for you to feel confident having me involved in your birth story.

  • Text and phone support immediately available upon paying your non-refundable deposit. Just as you would reach out to a friend with questions, concerns, bad news and good, I am here for you!

  • Beginning at 37 weeks I will officially be on-call for you and available to come to you when labor begins. Through labor I will be there as emotional support, there to hold your hand, squeeze your hips, and support you in the way that feels best for you.

  • Once baby is born I’ll stick around to ensure you are fed a nourishing meal, help with any cleanup and get you and your fresh addition settled.

Postpartum Support

  • I will plan with you for a postpartum visit 48-72 hours after labor. I can help with cooking a meal, general tidying of the house, check in with you on how breastfeeding is going and anything else I can do to support you.

  • I will remain on-call for you 2 weeks postpartum, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any concerns or questions!

Additional Offerings

Photography

  • I am interested in taking maternity, birth and fresh 48 photos - if this is something that you are interested in please let me know and we can talk more about what that will look like in addition to my role as your doula! While I am still finding my footing in photography, this offering will be included with the price as a thank you for allowing me to gain experience.

Provider Appointment

$50 - I will go with you to an appointment with your provider as emotional support.

Postpartum Doula Support

$100 - I will come and work a 4 hour shift at your home. This could include me helping with household tasks, meal prepping for you, taking care of your children while you have time to rest/nap/shower - this is flexible and can be fit to your needs.

Meet your doula

Hello! I am so happy you’re here! My name is Brooke, if that wasn’t already obvious :) I am a wife and mom to one amazing daughter. We currently live in New Braunfels, TX! After having my own incredibly empowering home birth, with the help of a great team of midwives and an amazing doula, I had it on my heart to do the work to become one myself. I’m so excited for this journey!

Outside of being passionate about all things women, birth and informed consent you can often find me enjoying the great outdoors with family and friends. We love going to parks and enjoying water in any way we can. I also love a good coffee - hot no matter the weather, a sweet treat and a good meal! I am very interested in photography and have just started stepping my foot into that world, too. Other than those things I enjoy cooking a good meal - even though sometimes they don't quite turn out for me, playing games with my husband - I love UNO and own all the variations, reading - when I find the time for it, and working out - I am a member at the local Burn Bootcamp and highly recommend it! I’m an open book and eager to meet you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out. :)
