Whether it's a family's personal preference or policy changes that are out of our control, having a doula present in the birthing location is not always possible. However, doula support can still be available and very beneficial to you in these unique circumstances! Through virtual doula services, you will have the opportunity to discuss your birthing preferences prenatally, learn about advocacy and your rights in child birth, and have me as your virtual guide and support throughout your birthing process. Even in these times of uncertainty, you can feel more calm and confident knowing that you have prepared to the best of your ability and have support at your finger tips--even from afar. Through our preparation beforehand, we will identify your birthing priorities and help your partner feel more equipped to navigate decision-making conversations, provide comfort measures and reassurance, and have resources to turn to throughout your birth. Additionally, virtual doula support will mean that your doula will provide tips, suggestions, encouragement, and reminders all along the way. Let's do what we can to help you have a beautiful, calm, and empowered birth!
"Thanks again, Mallori. The tips and especially all the emotional support and verbal encouragement help so much more than you know. It's not easy...but it's worth it when you finally get it right and see how much she loves you for it."
