Loss Doula Services
Have you previously had pregnancy losses?
Are you pregnant after experiencing infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss?
Are you pregnant with a baby that you know has a life limiting diagnosis?
Did you just find out about a stillbirth and are delivering tomorrow?
As a bereavement doula I will offer
Labor support for physical, emotional and spiritual comfort
Encouragement & guidance with memory-making during your time with your baby
Emotional support through your grief journey
Educational support to help you think through an array of medical information and decisions.
A key part of feeling fully informed and equipped following a diagnosis, throughout pregnancy continuation, and in the bereavement period that follows loss is having access to the insight and support provided by a multidisciplinary care team. Families who are carrying to term, are facing life limiting diagnosis, or are having a still-birth need a multi-disciplinary team that may include OB, specialists, neonatologists, nurses, social workers and chaplains. A doula provides one piece that no one else in this team can provide - continuity of care.
Continuity of care is essential and necessary for healing.
