Birth is Beautiful Doula Services

Welcome!

Hi, I am Rebekah

Why am I a doula?

Or why have a doula for your birth?

I became a doula because I am very passionate about health and changing the way pregnancy and birth are looked at, and getting back to some of the old, more holistic ways to make birth as easy and beautiful as possible.

To be able to share in the fulfilling experience of welcoming a new life, to be able to assist and support women physically and emotionally on their birth journey.

To be a voice for women in how they want their birth story/experience to go.

I will be with you every step of the way, anything from physical support, to getting you ice chips, or massaging your lower back while in labor, providing essential oils for aroma therapy (depending on facility rules) to helping you with your chosen affirmation to help you get through labor.

Together, as a team, along with your partner my job as your doula is to be there for you in any way you need, and I am passionate about your birth being the best it can be.

What I Offer

I offer my services as a certified birth and postpartum doula in Lewiston, Genesee, Moscow and Pullman area.

I like to start off with a free consultation where we meet up at coffee shop, or Palouse Juice to talk over my services in more detail, to see if it is a good fit between doula and potential client.

Birth is such a personal, raw, and magical moment between partner, mom and baby. Being a doula means I understand that a connection is must, comfort is huge, and I strive to make mom's pregnancy and birth journey as easy and aligned with her birth plan as humanly possible.

From there if the relationship grows from meet and greet to client, I will send an Intake Form via email for Mom to fill out. From there we will schedule our first out of three prenatal meetings I offer.

Prenatal Meetings & Resources

Once the consultation has taken place, and you are my established client I will be available to you by phone, text, or email to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I am fully committed to my client, and the pregnancy journey you and your partner are on.

Here is a short breakdown of what we will cover in our meetings.

Contract & Payment will be signed by both parties
We will go over the Intake Form responses
We will go over your birth preferences, needs, concerns, so that I can gain a deeper understanding how to better assist you and your partner.
We will go over labor positions, pros & cons of a medicated and unmedicated birth.
Evidence backed "Natural" things to try for a shorter labor duration.
Discuss Affirmations
Have a healthy food/nutrients guide available via email or paper copy for mom.

Starting at 37 weeks I will be on-call 24/7 for you and will meet you at your house, or birth location of choice when "active labor" starts.

Whether your labor is 3 hours or 24 hours you will never be without support!

During that time I will help communicate with midwife, hospital staff etc what your birth plan/desires are and together as a team we will do our best to see them come to fruition.

Once your special one has arrived and you are settled I take my leave, with a follow-up postpartum visit that week if so desired.

Postpartum Care

Pregnancy and Birth can be full of challenging changes. From the hormonal changes our body undergoes to diet restrictions, fatigue, and the blues that sometimes come in the aftermath birth of our little one, it can be a trying time.

The good news is you do not have to suffer alone, as I will be there to support you in the following week after your birth. I will come in person for a follow-up that week, where we will go over how you are feeling, how your birth experience was and any concerns you may be harboring. You can always reach out over text, and I am willing to find additional resources for postpartum healing, whether it be teas to help move along your body's natural healing process, an epsom salt bath, or making sure you have padsicles stocked up I am your doula. And you can count on me. Ask me for a list of teas to support lactation and I will send it via email or paper copy at our postpartum visit.
