BIRTH DOULA SUPPORT

My birth doula package includes two prenatal visits to prepare for your labor and postpartum journey, plus an optional “due date walk” to connect before baby’s arrival. When labor begins, I provide full on-call support and present for your birth, followed by 1-2 hours of immediate golden hour care. You’ll also receive a post-birth wrap-up visit, unlimited text and email support, and access to a loaner TENS unit for comfort during labor.

POSTPARTUM DOULA SUPPORT

Guidance with feeding, soothing, infant care, and help ease the challenges of the postpartum period. I provide tips and resources to aid your healing and comfort after birth. Light meal prep, organizing, and creating a calm home environment so you can focus on bonding with your baby. Postpartum care is customized to each family — offering you rest, reassurance, and continuity of care.

Please note that all postpartum offerings are subject to my availability at the time of your birth.

Please inquire about availability and packages.

KIND WORDS

  • “Talia is an exceptional birth doula”

    “My partner and I had the privilege of working with Talia during the birth of our son this January, and we cannot speak highly enough of her skills, compassion, and dedication. From our initial consultation to the postpartum follow-up, Talia demonstrated a deep understanding of the birth process, and a genuine interest in our needs and preferences. Her expertise and reassurance helped alleviate our anxieties, empowering us to make informed decisions and navigate the birth experience with confidence. We feel grateful to have had her by our side during this transformative experience, and we highly recommend her to any expectant parents seeking a supportive, empowering, and personalized birth experience.”

    - Swathi K.

  • "She will forever hold a special place in our hearts" 

    “If I ever get pregnant again, I'd want Talia by my side. I cannot recommend her enough. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts. She is gentle, full of knowledge, intuitive, fierce, and a phenomenal advocate. Such a badass too! I could be my vulnerable self with her & she opened her arms to me, as-is, never any judgment, just love & understanding. She held me up, gave me strength, and made me feel like family. My labor was 26hrs+. Then, I had to get an emergency C-section. My baby was born at 3:40 am. Talia stayed in the hospital until that time...she ensured we were all safe & cared for. She wasn't there just for me but for my husband too. We are all in a group text together! On the day of, she made sure to check in with him so that he was supported (rested + ate). To quote my husband, "She 100% helped us throughout our journey, especially during labor & delivery. If you don't hire her, you'll be missing out. Trust me."

  • “My doula, Talia, was exceptional.” 

    “My doula, Talia, was exceptional. Words fall short to describe what Talia has done for us as a couple in helping grow our family. I now say she's a part of our family because she supported and witnessed the growth of it with her warm and nurturing care and advice. She was always available for support and addressed all concerns I had. She understood our preferences and kept that in mind for any advice she passed on. She was an incredible support system for my partner through labor and delivery. Talia went out of her way to ensure we felt prepared for the birthing experience.”

    -Krushi V. 

  • "10 out of 10 would recommend" 

    “Talia is worth all the gold we can muster! She is so kind, caring, and empathetic. Going in, I told her all about my hopes and fears, and she not only took me seriously but she also empowered me! She is very responsive and was very communicative; she always took time to check in and remember when I would be going for my OB appts. 10/10!”

    - Rebecca A. 

  • "Talia is an amazing doula!" 

    “Talia is an amazing doula! She was the perfect support for me and my partner as we navigated our first birth. We felt so supported and guided through creating our birth plan, the whole labor process, and during immediate postpartum. Navigating this uncharted territory alone would have felt a lot more stressful and overwhelming without Talia. She was always available to answer our questions and provide whatever support we needed.” 

    -Bridget B.

  • "We feel truly blessed to have met her." 

    “We can't thank Talia enough for everything! This whole experience would've been so much more scarier without her. We feel truly blessed to have met her. She is a wonderful person and so passionate about her work. You can tell it comes from the heart. I hope she continues filling people's lives with joy as much as she did with us.”

    -Stephanie G. 

  • "Mil Gracias” 

    "Gracias por todo su apoyo durante mi embarazo y el nacimiento de mi bebé. Siempre la recordaré con mucho cariño, especialmente porque como madre primeriza necesitaba alguien que me guiara y me brindara tranquilidad en cada momento. Usted estuvo a mi lado con paciencia, comprensión y fortaleza, dándome la confianza que tanto necesitaba. Estoy profundamente agradecida por su acompañamiento y cuidado. Muchas gracias, y que Dios la bendiga siempre.”
