Threshold Doula Services
A
Threshold Doula serves as direct emotional, mental, and physical support to a person or family approaching or experiencing a life-changing
transition.
Birth
Birth preparation: Terra works in the Birthing from Within tradition and helps birthing people gather
pain coping and decision-making tools as they prepare for labor and the journey of parenting. Each two hour session may be virtual or in-person, depending
on needs and circumstances.
- Pain coping: Practice techniques with your birth partner to build a pain coping mindset for labor.
- Laborynth: Learn to use the labyrinth as a metaphorical map for labor and delivery. The labyrinth offers a way to explore the unexpected twists and turns of
birth. There's no right or wrong way to birth!
-
Birth Art: Birth art activities can offer unexpected insights that may transform the way you look at and experience birth.
They are about the process, not the product, and they can be fun too!
Labor, delivery, and postpartum: Terra joins you in the early stages of labor and stays through the first few hours after your baby is born. She adapts to you
and your family's needs to offer:
- Direct physical support, massage, and breath work
- Help navigating the stages of labor
- Advocacy and help with navigating the medical system
- Support and engagement of partners and families, including children if present
- Lactation support
- Two visits or virtual consultations in weeks following the birth
- Adaptive and responsive assessment of needs during labor and postpartum visits
DIY placenta encapsulation: Supporting you and/or your birth partner in obtaining and processing your own placenta for dehydration and encapsulation.
Birth packages: These usually include three birth preparation visits (with at least one of these in-person at your home) and labor, delivery, and postpartum support.
Birth Doula Rates
My average rate for birth preparation is $35 for a single 2hr class and $120 for a 4-class package.
My average doula rate is $900 for clients in Carroll County and $1200 for locations about 60 miles from Carrolton, GA. Payment plans and sliding scale available.
Sliding scale: If you can pay more, this enables someone else with more limited resources to recieve birth doula support.
If these average rates break your pocketbook, then we can talk about what you are able to offer.
