Susie and Allison proudly serve and support birthing families as a doula team through Two Doulas and You! Doula support is strengthened with TWO compassionate, experienced doulas that will support, empower and journey with you from the moment of hire - through pregnancy, birth, and immediate postpartum, nurturing a positive, connected, satisfying birth experience. Prenatally, we are a resource for evidence-based information, we are a safe space to talk through any fears or concerns, get to know your birth desires and preferences to assist with birth planning and preparation, practice comfort measures and laboring positions, and provide guidance, perspective, and support of experienced care. In labor, we offer physical comfort support - such as relaxation techniques, TENS therapy, position changes, counterpressure, massage, hydrotherapy, and prioritizing protecting the birth space environment. We assist in advocacy support by helping facilitate communication between you and your provider; emotionally, we will listen to you, share encouraging words, hold space, and be a consistent presence in the journey to meeting your baby. We will come alongside your partner (if applicable) to provide the perfect support team for you, share perspective and guidance, we assist them in helping comfort you during labor, so they have a positive, connected birth experience too.
Birth doula support includes: on-call support 24/7 from the moment of hire, unlimited text/phone/email support, 2-3 prenatal meetings, access to a weekly virtual support group, continuous labor and birth support, and 1 postpartum meeting.
Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing the placenta after the birth by cleaning, steaming, dehydrating, grinding, and placing it into vegan capsules for consumption. Susie is a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist trained in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) method for placenta encapsulation. This method gently reintroduces beneficial hormones, iron, proteins, and other nutrients to your body following labor and birth to help restore physical and emotional balance, prevent or lessen the “baby blues” that may lead to postpartum depression, increase breast milk production, shorten healing time, increase energy levels, and provide an over-all feeling of wellness to aid in the transition between pregnancy and the early postpartum period.
The placenta encapsulation service includes: placenta capsules, umbilical cord keepsake, placenta art print, and healing salve.
