Private Consults

ONE ON ONE

Private Consults for Families and Doulas

Sometimes you do not need a full class or a full birth team. You just need focused time with someone who has been there. A private virtual consult gives you one-on-one space to ask questions, plan, and think things through.

Families use them to follow up after a childbirth class, prepare for birth, or weigh their options. Experienced doulas use them to work through a specific challenge or plan a step that goes beyond the basics.

Consults are held over Zoom at a mutually agreeable time during business hours. Each block runs 1 to 1.5 hours and can cover whatever you would like to focus on. They are a great option for distance learning or as a supplement to other learning, with uninterrupted time and full attention on you.
