Services at a Glance
I offer a continuum of care that follows your journey from the early days of pregnancy through the first year of motherhood:
Initial Doula Visit
Every journey begins with a conversation. During your initial doula visit, Amelda takes the time to learn about your hopes, preferences, and any concerns you may have about pregnancy or birth. This session is designed to help you feel comfortable, informed, and confident about the support you’ll receive. Together, you’ll discuss your birth plan, comfort measures, and ways your doula can best meet your emotional and physical needs.
Your story matters, and this is where it begins.
Prenatal Visits
Pregnancy can bring excitement, questions, and sometimes uncertainty. My prenatal visits are all about preparation and empowerment. Amelda offers hands-on education about labor positions, breathing and relaxation techniques, partner support strategies, and postpartum expectations. You’ll also receive guidance on nutrition, rest, and emotional wellness.
The goal is to help you enter labor feeling calm, capable, and ready.
Assistance during Vaginal Deliver
When it’s time to give birth, you deserve steady, reassuring care. Amelda provides continuous physical and emotional support during your vaginal delivery, helping you manage contractions, maintain comfort, and make informed choices. Whether you’re delivering in a hospital, birthing center, or at home, she acts as your advocate ensuring your wishes are heard and respected.
You focus on bringing life into the world; I focus on surrounding you with peace and strength.
Assistance during Cesarean Delivery
A cesarean birth is still a birth, and it deserves the same warmth, attention, and advocacy. Amelda offers emotional reassurance and practical support before, during, and after your cesarean. From calming techniques before surgery to gentle reacovery guidance afterward, she ensures you feel included, informed, and empowered throughout the experience.
Birth is beautiful in every form, and every mother deserves care that honors her courage.
Assistance during Vaginal Delivery after Cesarean (VBAC)
Choosing a VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Cesarean) can be both exciting and emotional. Amelda provides evidence-based information and compassionate care for families pursuing this path. She helps you prepare physically and mentally, communicates with your medical team, and supports you through labor with techniques designed for comfort and safety.
Your body is capable. Your journey is valid. Your choice is respected.
Assistance during Abortion
Experiencing an abortion can be deeply personal and emotional. Through abortion support, Amelda offers non-judgmental, confidential care, ensuring you’re not alone. Whether you need physical comfort, emotional processing, or simple companionship, she provides grounded presence and healing guidance before, during, and after the procedure.
Compassion, not judgment, care that meets you where you are.
Assistance during Miscarriage
Pregnancy loss is an experience that requires gentleness, understanding, and space to grieve. Amelda’s miscarriage support helps families process their emotions, find comfort, and begin healing at their own pace. She can assist with physical recovery guidance, emotional support sessions, and reiki healing to promote balance and peace.
In moments of loss, you are not alone, you are held, heard, and supported.
Postpartum Visits
The postpartum period is often called the “fourth trimester,” and it’s just as important as birth itself. During postpartum visits, Amelda helps mothers and families adjust to new routines, recover physically, and nurture their emotional well-being. She provides assistance with newborn care, feeding choices, rest planning, and self-care. Each visit is designed to ease the transition and strengthen your confidence as a parent.
Healing takes time, and you deserve support while you find your rhythm.
Postpartum Extended Home Visits
For families who need ongoing care, extended home visits offer continued reassurance long after the first weeks. These visits may include check-ins on baby’s development, emotional wellness discussions, light household support, or help with infant sleep and feeding challenges. Amelda ensures that your evolving needs are met with consistency, compassion, and care.
Because support shouldn’t end when you leave the hospital, it should grow with your family.
Reiki Healing
As a trained Reiki practitioner, Amelda brings holistic healing into the doula experience. Reiki is a gentle energy-based technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports emotional balance, especially helpful during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Sessions can be done in person or remotely and are tailored to help restore harmony between mind, body, and spirit.
Healing energy flows where it’s welcomed, let peace return to your body and heart.
