Massage Doula for Your Labor and Birth

If you're contemplating hiring a doula to support you in labor, and like physical touch to relieve pain, consider a massage doula.

I have experience working with women in labor as a doula and as a massage therapist. When I attend your labor as a massage doula, you get the best of both worlds: I still remain with you for the duration of your labor, still provide emotional support and all the other thousand little things doulas do. And you'll have an experienced labor massage therapist at your beck and call.

What You Get

Before your baby is born, we'll schedule two meetings so we can get to know one another, discuss your hopes and goals for your birth and cover any questions you may have. When you're in labor (or think you might be), you call me as soon as you think I might be useful to you, and I'll stay until shortly after we meet your new baby. Then I'll come back to visit you again a few days later to chat about your experience and help out however I can. You're of course welcome to call or email me with any questions at any point along the way.

Bonus Massage

But wait, there's more! I'll bring my massage supplies to our second prenatal meeting, and you'll receive a 60-minute prenatal massage, free of charge. This pre-labor massage allows us to become accustomed to working together, helps you get an idea of my style and rhythm, and gives me an opportunity to learn what you like. Plus, my clients love it!

Details

A fee of $750 includes 2 prenatal meetings, one 60-minute massage, birth attendance, and a postpartum visit within the first few days. I am currently accepting labor doula clients, but my schedule can fill up quickly! If you are interested in having me attend your birth, please contact me with your due date and intended place of birth.

Labor Doula & Labor Massage Service Area

I attend labor doula clients and offer in-labor massage to clients birthing in homes, hospitals, and birth centers throughout the Portland Metro area, including Vancouver WA.
