Pregnancy and Infant Loss

I became certified as a bereavement doula because it is so heartbreaking how many families go through a miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death and have little to no support and may benefit from someone to walk them through every step of the way. I do not want to anyone to feel alone and want every birth to matter. Support includes what a family can expect for delivery and meeting their baby, helping gather keepsakes, and helping to plan a farewell. 

Remembrance photos are taken of stillborn babies or babies who pass after birth, whether in the NICU or at home. Photos can be taken starting at 20 weeks' gestation, occasionally earlier. These photos will allow you to have a memory of your baby for the rest of your life. If you are on the fence or feel like you don't want the photos, its encouraged to get them anyway and let someone else hold onto them just in case you ever change your mind. Declining photos is often a regret of loss parents.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss coaching is a way to talk about the struggles you are facing and how you can actually help grieve and heal yourself though coaching. We will have a forward driven conversation looking at your future in this new life as you move forward. Your life may never be how it was before, but we can work together to achieve a new normal for you. 

My postpartum after loss program keeps you move through grief and loss in a healthy way. It's a weekly program that includes a topic each week. Some topics include lactation after loss, relationship building, and memory making. It is a self-paced program with optional zoom meeting check-ins each week!
