Service introduction
I am willing to work with insurances if it is set up for independent Doula billing and services. My fees are discussed after determining what services are requested or sought. My packages generally include two visits Prenatal and two visits Postpartum. I also offer in home services for newborn care for mothers who need a little more support, who are healing or who need hands on coaching for new or young mothers.

Absolutely stupendously perfect. Could not recommend more

Nai was an incredible source of support both as my doula during labor and throughout my postpartum recovery. I was originally scheduled for a C-section, but my delivery plan changed unexpectedly, and I ended up having a vaginal birth instead. What was supposed to be a relatively short procedure turned into more than 12 hours of labor, delivery, and overnight support. Nai adapted immediately without hesitation and stayed by my side every step of the way, never making me feel like the extended time was an inconvenience. No task was ever too small, and nothing felt like too much to ask. In fact, one of the things I appreciated most was her ability to take initiative. Even when I was too tired or uncomfortable to ask for help, she noticed what needed to be done and stepped in to make sure everything was taken care of. Nai was also a strong advocate for me during labor. When I felt like my wishes were not being fully heard or when I felt pressured to agree to things I did not want, she helped ensure my voice was respected and my concerns were addressed. Her support after delivery has been just as invaluable. She has helped with laundry, bottle washing and preparation, caring for my baby so I could rest, tidying up around the house, and so much more. She consistently goes above and beyond what is typically expected of a doula, and it is clear that she genuinely cares about the well-being of her clients. Nai is more than a doula—she feels like a trusted friend or family member who is there to support you during one of the most physically and emotionally demanding times of your life. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, dependable, and truly exceptional doula and postpartum support.

I’ve used this provider twice , she was encouraging, endearing, and any type of synonym in between. She knew when to advocate for me when i didn’t have the energy during labor to speak up or the knowledge on the topic . she knew what I could handle enough to tell me to keep going and giving me the push I needed . She gave me a safe and supportive birth experience . She was an absolute gem being the best cheerleader I had on the sideline ! Would recommend her any and every time .
