Our Services

At Ground & Grow Birth Co., we believe every phase of the perinatal journey deserves care that feels personal, intuitive, empowered, and pampered. Our services are designed to support you emotionally, physically, and spiritually—whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or nourishing yourself from within. However you choose to grow, we’re honored to walk beside you.

  • Birth is sacred—and you shouldn’t have to walk through it alone. As your doula, I’m here to hold space, offer grounded comfort, and remind you of your strength.

    Through personalized prenatal visits, we’ll get to know each other, talk through your birth preferences, and prepare you (and your support person) with practical tools, comfort techniques, and evidence-based information to approach labor with confidence and calm.

    When the time comes, I’ll be by your side through every wave of labor—whether at home, birth center, or hospital—offering continuous emotional, physical, and informational support. From early labor to your baby’s first cry, I’ll help create a calm environment, suggest movement and positioning for comfort, advocate for your preferences when needed, and most importantly, remind you that you are never alone.

    My role is not to replace your partner, but to enhance your team—helping everyone feel supported, seen, and safe as you bring your baby into the world.

    This service includes:

    • Two prenatal visits to build connection, review comfort measures and tools, and create a personalized birth plan

    • 24/7 on-call support starting at 38 weeks

    • Unlimited text and phone support for questions, reassurance, and guidance throughout late pregnancy and early labor

    • Access to my full “doula bag” of high-quality comfort tools and support essentials during labor (valued at over $500!)—so you’ll have everything you need without having to purchase your own

    • Continuous labor and birth support, from early labor through delivery

    • Immediate postpartum support for up to two hours after birth

    • One postpartum check-in visit within the first two weeks after birth

    • If desired—incorporate Celtic-inspired rituals, meditation, and intention setting during prenatal visits and early labor

    I also offer Prenatal Birth Planning & Consulting (without labor support)

  • Honoring the placenta as the sacred bridge between you and your baby—with nourishment that supports your healing journey.

    Placenta encapsulation is the practice of transforming your placenta into easy-to-take capsules, intended to gently support your body in the postpartum period.
