SHARED CARE:

Starting June 2025, I am sharing care with a dear friend and doula/photographer, Martha Lanphear.

Martha is an incredible doula, with her strengths shining through in how she shows up for the people she is supporting.

Martha is passionate about making families feel comfortable in this transformative process, has open, honest discussions, and truly loves the people that she works with. She has so much knowledge around all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum as well as miscarriage, and she provides an excellent balance of evidence-based information and intuitive care, really tuning in to people’s needs and making them feel safe and held.

I am confident that with both of our strengths, together her and I cover virtually any topic to provide holistic, comprehensive care.

What you can expect from shared care with us:

  • An initial visit in person with us both, shortly after hire

  • On-call for you from the moment of hire

  • A group chat where you can ask us questions at any time if anything comes up during pregnancy

  • One individual visit with each of us so we both get a chance to know you more personally

  • Continuous support throughout your birth. (for longer births, a strength we have as a team of two is being able to relieve one another so that you always have a rested doula supporting you! This is a huge benefit for families)

  • One postpartum visit with the doula who attended your birth

  • An extra lactation support visit with Michelle, if needed

  • Everything listed in the doula package below
