Naturopathic Doula Services
Supporting You Every Step of the Way, From Pregnancy to Parenthood
Bringing new life into the world is one of the most transformative experiences—and having the right support can make all the difference. As a naturopathic doctor offering doula services, I provide a unique blend of evidence-based care and holistic guidance to support you every step of the way.
Why Choose a Doula?
A doula is your emotional anchor, physical support, and resource for informed decision-making during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Studies show that doula care improves birth outcomes, reduces stress, and helps you feel more in control. With my combined training as an ND and doula, I offer an integrative approach that nurtures your mind, body, and baby.
Why Choose a Naturopathic Doula?
Unlike traditional doulas, I bring a medical lens to your pregnancy and birth journey, ensuring comprehensive care that goes beyond emotional support. With my naturopathic background, I can help you navigate every stage—from preconception to postpartum—with tools like nutritional counseling, herbal medicine, physical therapies, and more. Best of all, my services are covered under many insurance plans, so you can access quality care without financial strain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book your naturopathic doula services?
You can book a free consultation through my website to learn more about my services, ask questions, and see if I’m the right fit for your needs. From there, we’ll customize a care plan that aligns with your goals and preferences.
Do you offer virtual doula services?
Yes, I can provide virtual doula services, which include consultations, pregnancy planning, postpartum check-ins, and emotional support. This can be a great option for clients who prefer remote care or live outside my local service area.
What can I expect from postpartum naturopathic doula care?
Postpartum care focuses on helping you recover physically and emotionally after delivery. This can include support for healing (using natural remedies), addressing breastfeeding challenges, managing postpartum fatigue or mood changes, and even supporting your baby’s early health. Together, we’ll create a plan to ease your transition into motherhood.
Can I hire you as a naturopathic doctor without the doula services?
Absolutely! If you ’re looking for naturopathic care but don’t require doula support, I offer comprehensive naturopathic services for preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. You can choose the type of care that best suits your needs.
Do I need a midwife or OB/GYN if I have a naturopathic doula?
Yes, a naturopathic doula does not replace the need for a midwife or OB/GYN. My role complements their care by providing additional support, focusing on your physical and emotional well-being, and addressing natural health solutions. Together, we create a collaborative birth team to ensure the best possible outcome for you and your baby.
What does a naturopathic doula do during labor and delivery?
During labor and delivery, I provide both physical and emotional support. This may include hands-on comfort measures (like massage or acupressure), guidance on breathing and positioning, and natural pain management techniques. I also ensure you feel empowered and informed throughout the process, collaborating with your birth team to create a positive, calm environment.
Are your naturopathic doula services covered by insurance?
Yes! Because I am a licensed naturopathic doctor, my services can often be billed under naturopathic care for insurance reimbursement. However, coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and plan, so it’s a good idea to check with them directly.
What is a naturopathic doula, and how is it different from a traditional doula?
A naturopathic doula is a licensed naturopathic doctor who also provides doula services, offering a unique combination of emotional, physical, and medical support. Unlike traditional doulas, I can use evidence-based natural medicine, lab testing, and therapeutic modalities to address your health concerns during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. This integrative approach ensures comprehensive care tailored to your individual needs.
