Prenatal “Nesting” Services

In addition to postpartum doula services, I offer prenatal “nesting” services for clients during the last trimester of pregnancy.

The weeks leading up to your baby’s arrival can be incredibly exciting—but also overwhelming—as you prepare for this major life transition. Physical discomforts of pregnancy, fatigue, and a long list of to-dos can make it difficult to get everything done before birth. That’s where I come in.

Whether you’re navigating a high-risk pregnancy, experiencing complications, feeling emotionally drained, or simply need a little extra support, having a calm, experienced helping hand during this time can make all the difference. My prenatal services are designed to ease your load, help you feel more prepared, and give you space to rest—yes, that includes putting those swollen feet up!

This time is also a wonderful opportunity for client and postpartum doula to build a relationship and get to know each other before the birth of the baby.
