Precautions against the spread of Covid-19, flu, RSV, & other baddies 

At this time I am offering in-person prenatal visits as outlined in my contract as well as in-person support for labor, birth, postpartum, and other procedures. I am fully vaccinated and have received my flu shot for winter 2023. I wear a mask to all medical settings and all client homes. I do not require my clients to wear masks, but it is encouraged. Especially if you have other young children in your home, or if I am coming for a postpartum visit with your newborn. I take a covid test whenever I have any symptoms. I will reschedule any visits if i have symptoms. I will also send a back-up doula to your birth if I am experiencing any cough/cold/flu symptoms. It is worth taking these precautions to protect your child/children's budding immune system. Please contact me with any questions.

Covid-19  Doula Support Package Modifications:
​if there is a new surge of a dangerous variant- this is dependent on CDC and public health recommendations and I do not foresee going back to these conditions, as we enter into 2023.

This birth doula support package will substitute these modifications in services while Covid-19 cases in MA are still at unsafe levels:

• an unlimited number of virtual meetings via Zoom to establish our connection and get to know one another, as well as to provide education about birth options, changing policies surrounding Covid-19 precautions, and to help you develop birth preferences.
• 24/7 on-call support via phone or text
• the possibility of one prenatal visit in person, dependent on Covid-19 risk screening, to practice massage techniques, spinning babies techniques,  and labor/ birth positions
• The possibility of in-home support in early to active labor, depending on your Covid-19 risk screening and changing CDC and WHO recommendations.
• Continuous support via Zoom or other video conferencing app, phone, or text through out the duration of your stay on labor and delivery, through up to 2 hours postpartum, using the method of your choice.
• Access to a long list of trusted perinatal and infant feeding professionals who are providing expert virtual support.
• The possibility of an in home postpartum visit, depending on aforementioned criteria and parent's wishes, or a virtual postpartum visit to trouble shoot any issues with baby and talk about your birth experience.
