At Redwood Doulas, we recognize childbirth as the life-changing, memory-making, miraculous event that it is. We also know that an event this monumental in a person’s life requires tremendous support.
Redwood Doulas provide continuous comfort, encouragement, and physical support before, during, and shortly after birth. We are there to help manage pain, ease stress, and gently guide you through the waves of emotion.
Our Birth Doula packages include:
No question is too small, no need is too great, we’re there by your side, every step of the way.
Our initial consultation is your opportunity to consult with an expert about the birth of your baby. During this time, we will discuss what you want your birth support to look like and how Redwood Doulas can help you make that a reality. We will also go over the contract and payment options.
Your prenatal visits open the door to a comprehensive exploration of your birth wishes and philosophies, and options for comfort laboring at home and at your place of birth. You and your partner will have the opportunity to discuss your thoughts and feelings as you make decisions, and set intentions for the birth of your baby.
This is the moment that all of your preparations have been leading to… The welcoming of your baby! And, while you may have read all of the books and asked all of the questions, there is nothing like having a Redwood doula by your side in real-time during this intimate, life-changing experience. Your doula will be present with you at your birth location providing continuous support:
- Offering comforting touch to enable relaxation
- Bringing mindfulness to your breathing to ease the sensations
- Affirming you through the challenges, and helping you remain calm
- Offering a variety of positional changes to enable the progression of labor
Arriving home with your new baby is an especially exciting time. During this period, you are learning about your baby and finding your way as a new parent. As you navigate this time, questions will arise. Your doula will bring their wisdom, knowledge, and unbiased understanding to your home for your postpartum follow-up visit.

Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is both an art, and a science designed to preserve your baby’s placenta for your consumption over an extended period of time. The ingestion of one’s placenta is a valued practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine. While Western medicine has not recognized its value, but Redwood Doulas, embraces this traditional form of medicine. We continue its practice based on the many physical and emotional benefits reported by our clients.
