Birth Doula $1,500
From the moment you sign a contract, you have access to me 24/7 for any phone calls, text messages etc. Meaning if you hire me at 6 weeks or 30 weeks I am there for you just as much! When it is what I call “baby window” I go on call. This will depend on what is personally going on with your individual pregnancy so there is no set time. Regardless what your journey is I support your choices and will guide you with evidence based information along the way. I do have back up birth doula’s that can come and relieve me if labor happens goes over 24 hrs. Rare but I am always prepared with amazing woman at the ready! Comfort measures I use are hot and cold therapy, hands on massage, movement, positive affirmations, visual light and music therapy, and position changes. Creating an environment that will bring you comfort and peace. Providing support physically, mentally and spiritually throughout the entire birth into recovery if you choose. We will work together ahead of time and create your birth plan. I am your advocate and will do everything in my knowledge and power to help guide you through this transition into parenthood. Assisting in breastfeeding directly after and will stay with you 1-2 hours after birth. Typically if we are in the hospital I will assist you and your partner to your postpartum room. Getting you all settled in with your belongings. Taking time to set your room up to be as homie as possible.

Testimonials
About me
My name is Natalie Collins. I am a married mother of two boys who are over 10 years apart in age! I have worked in the medical field for over 10 years in various positions before I became a full-time doula. My training is through International Doula Institute which is approved and recommended by DONA. This has been a passion of mine my whole life. This season of life has always pulled my interest and I wanted to always be surrounded by it. My ability to connect to people has led me here. I care deeply and love fiercely and want the best for every single person I come into contact with. You are so important to me and we haven’t met yet.
