Birth takes so muscle and I am a massage therapist.
I have been a professional and active doula since 2003. I have attended over 300 births in twelve different hospitals, three birth centers and many, many homes. I am an active doula in the birth room. My goals are to keep you and your family as comfortable and as informed as possible. I want all of your physical and emotional needs met.I want to teach your birth partner to be me and learn all my moves to help their partner. I want you to know all of your options at every turn. I have experience with all the facets of birth including transfers of care, high risk pregnancies, rainbow babies, inductions, gestational diabetes, hypertension, planned and unplanned c-sections, v-bacs and malpositioned babies and losses. I use my experience, my bodywork skills and my childbirth education for every birth I attend. Every birth is like a snowflake no two are ever the same. Jen massaged me in between contractions making sure that I met each one with the tension of jello. P.A - 2009 My doula services include: Free consultation to explain services & answer questions in your home or my Salmonberry office. On call the month around your due date One ninety minute massage before your birth in my office at Salmonberry Birth Center One prenatal visitaround 35-37 weeks to learn your expectations, desires, fears and discuss comfort measures Help you make plans for birth Phone and email support throughout pregnancy/postpartum Continuous support through out your labor and early postpartum One postpartum visit to review your birth and check in on your adjustment Breastfeeding support Photos with your camera, if you choose I also know a great birth photographer Referrals (lactation, acupuncture, midwives and obstetricians, etc.) References available I have an experienced backup doula available if needed I hav9e attended all types of births (home, hospital & birth center) in Kitsap, Jefferson and King County. I DO NOT charge extra to leave Kitsap County. I believe that the hospital options, equipment and providers are often better outside of Kitsap County. That day will forever be one of the hardest days in my life, and you helped me kick it ass ! T.E - 2016 LBGTQ, non-traditional families, and non-traditional parenting supported and respected. $900.00 (includes one ninety minute massage at Salmonberry Birth Center) Payment plans available.

It is a savings of $150.00 If you are receiving WIC or DSHS I offer $200.00 off my doula fee I believe that everyone should have a doula. 2019 Statistics Zero csections !!! 80% out of hospital birth with zero transfers in labor !!! Do you know the cesarean rate for where you will be birthing? Do you know your providers csection rate? Facts: Women supported by a doula in labor have been shown to have: Doulas who work for hospitals do not tend to have the same rates.

A doula is like a trail guide, familiar with the path, she keeps you hiking through the hard parts, knowing the view at the end is incredible.
