Welcome to DoulaCoral.com

You are worth the quiet moment.

You are worth the deeper breath. You are worth the time it takes to slow down, be still, and rest.” -Morgan Harper Nichols

Birth Support Offerings

Complimentary Birth Consultation: Choosing your Doula is a choice that involves participating in a relationship where I implement collaborative prenatal care and support during our meetings to result in a unique bond in which I create your ideal birth scenario while also preparing for the unexpected. Over time we will develop trust and grow together along your path to becoming a Parent to your newborn. This consultation is a time for us to discuss your desires and goals, fear and anxieties and for you to ask me any questions about my training, how I relate to my clients in order to provide continuous support, for me to fully hear you so that I may aid in building a calm, productive, sacred birth space. I also spend time connecting as people and using our intuition to decide if I would like to move forward with me as your Birth Doula. So much is decided within our hearts and in this session I get a chance to tap into those instincts and come together so that should I move forward we both feel open to working with one another during this special time and you feel confident that my support would add positive energy, information and trusted guidance to your experience. This can usually lasts up to an hour but I try not to put a time limit since I feel it’s counterproductive to beginning a relationship where trust, communication and honesty is incredibly important.

* Prenatal Meetings prior to your birth are an opportunity to empower you during this incredible journey. In these sessions, we delve into all aspects of pregnancy and create a personalized birth plan using the interactive and informative platform called Motherboard. We will explore various birthing styles, guiding you toward your unique goals and choices for Labor and Delivery, whether that means choosing a medicated, unmedicated, or hybrid approach. Together, we will deeply examine all the options available to you, ensuring that your decisions are rooted in evidence-based information, informed consent, and free from judgment. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to understanding and meeting your needs, so you can step into your birth experience feeling complete and ready in both mind and body. We can meet as many times as you need—whether in person, online, or by phone—and I offer weekly check-ins to help you feel connected and informed, should that be your preference. My aim is to build trust and create an ongoing relationship where I can provide helpful feedback and advice throughout your pregnancy. I believe that limiting our meetings restricts our connection, so I welcome as many sessions as you desire, ensuring you feel comfortable, safe, and confident every step of the way.

From the moment your labor begins, I will be by your side, ready to embrace your choices and honor your birth plan including adjustments should medical interventions are needed to safeguard your health and your baby’s—I annoint your birth space with dim calm lighting, relaxing music, aromatherapy safe for pregnancy should you desire and massage techniques to relax and ground you as you begin to labor and throughout..

Together, we will navigate the various stages and comfort measures—whether you decide to labor at home before transitioning to the hospital, birth at home or a private center, or invite me to join you once you’ve been admitted—supporting you every step of the way until your baby arrives, guiding you into the beautiful journey of motherhood. 

* 2-3 postpartum visits after your baby is born where we go over basic newborn care, I check in on how you are healing, feeling, and help with getting you acclimated to being a new parent.
