tier two : clearing the way
$2800
You are a special one, to have been led here. It may have been a long journey to get to this place, but you have never been one to shy away from the work. Pregnancy is a time of softening and as such, an invitation to go a little deeper. This tier offers five modules of prenatal coaching, beckoning you to do the hard work, the heart work, to prepare yourself for your new life with baby, in addition to fourteen hours of supportive and nourishing postpartum care. We begin this tier with a consult, an intake form, and a breakdown of expectations for both us and you.
We are so proud to be a part of this new chapter of your life. There is truly no higher honor. Thank you.
prenatal care : seven meetings, five modules
In this tier, you will have a total of seven prenatal meetings. At our first meeting, we will review your intake form, and the last meeting is your birth prep at thirty-eight weeks. Between them, you get to choose five of the seven modules listed below:
getting acquainted with the truth
If you want to get from here to there, it helps to be honest about where you’re starting from. “There” might be your vision for your pregnancy, birth, or the kind of postpartum you want, but it all starts with taking a moment to look at how things are today, with radical honesty, and grace. Spend time with us as we tell each other the stories of who we are (we tell our stories, too). The roots, the gritty, the how you got here — the honest.
sex and intimacy
An important part of a romantic relationship — and it will change, both before but especially after baby. We discuss current dynamics, what’s working and what’s not, and we talk about what this area of your relationship might look like in the postpartum, and how to navigate it. This has proven time and again to be an impactful session for our couples.
parenting
The idea of parenting is easy to skip over in the excitement and preparation for birth, but your parenting journey will be longer than your pregnancy and your birth. What’s more, many couples may not know or realize what their belief systems around parenting actually are. You may have opposing ideas, you might be totally aligned, but it’s important to talk about it early and often. We talk about newborns, how their brains and bodies work, when to burp, etc. We also talk about the ideologies we bring to parenthood, and we remind you more than anything to have grace for yourselves.
creating a container
Containers are fierce and radical boundaries that you create for yourself. They are lines we draw in the sand that say what is allowed in and what is not, during a set period of time. In this module, we go over how to create a timeline for your birthing year that creates built-in protection for your vision.
sovereignty
White coat syndrome is a real thing — when you have a care provider telling you one thing, it can feel difficult to question it or to push back. What’s more, we’ve been conditioned to believe what we’re told. Sovereignty is about taking back your right to knowledge, about becoming your own savior, and trusting yourself while leaning on your chosen community.
belief
Just like we need to examine our belief systems around parenting, we need to look at the beliefs we carry into the labor room with us and how they impact the experience. Births often take the shape of the participants, so we talk about what is ours and what isn’t. How to decondition and how to hold uncertainty — most importantly, we talk about how to hold radical hope.
trauma
Trauma is what occurs when something happens to you, rather than a choice you get to make, even if what you’re choosing is profoundly difficult. Childhood abuse, sexual assault, poverty, divorce, etc., are all forms of trauma that can impact labor and the postpartum. In this module, we’ll talk about the basics of what trauma is and how it can show up in pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum. We are not therapists, but we are trauma-informed and bring lived experience.
birth
This is our final prenatal together before going on call. We’ll go through an overview of the stages of labor, what’s “normal” in birth and newborns, and we’ll help you sort out what your non-negotiables in the birth room are. We’ll get you into different labor positions so that your partner can practice supporting you, and we’ll all practice making some labor sounds together.
birth support
Once you are in active labor, one or both of your doulas will be available to support you and your partner through delivery and into the first few hours of postpartum. Labor support looks like holding space and witnessing, giving guidance and education, helping ease discomfort and move labor along, all while supporting the birth partner as well. Two doulas, two sets of hands, we can give each of you our energy and hearts. We always include a birth story, and we will take a few phone photos as well.
postpartum care : fourteen hours
space, place, grace
You will need space, place, and grace to land in this new phase of life, a season that demands rest and reconnection. Postpartum is full of both celebration and grief — it is truly an invitation for you to summon compassion for yourself, your body, your partner, your other children (or pets), and your baby as you adjust to all that has changed. It is also a time of fierce boundaries, an opportunity for you to claim your power and find what feels best for you and your family as you step into your role, and to advocate for it without fear of judgment or repercussions. Your baby, your choices!
We honor the first forty days postpartum as a vital period of nourishment and healing, recognized across cultures as shaping long-term wellbeing for the birthing parent, the baby, and the family as a whole. We offer hands-on support with home care, food, and baby care so you can rest, bond, reconnect, and return gently to yourself, all while being held through presence, listening, and practices that support emotional and inner healing.
