When you hire A Queen’s Doula for the birth of your baby, you can trust that you will be treated like royalty. You will be my focus, and your needs and desires will be my priority. You will be exceptionally cared for in the hands of a compassionate, gentle, professional birth expert who is accountable, dependable and available. I will be dedicated to you, your baby, and your family’s health and well-being on every step of your birth journey. Pregnancy may bring about moments of doubt, emotional highs and lows, and lots of questions. Questions that can lead you on an exhausting search for answers that may very well lead to more questions. You don’t have to feel like a “lady in waiting.” Remember, you are a Queen, and with me as your doula, the answers are always within your reach! As a member of the community, I am the go-to source for birth related information and the vetted resources that benefit a Queen, in Queens (and beyond.) I am trained and certified to provide answers; especially the ones already inside of you that may need a bit of encouragement, and reassurance to be pulled to the surface. As a Queen’s Doula, I know that preparing for the birth of your baby and the expansion of your family is no fairy tale… But that doesn’t mean you can’t have your happily ever after. It is my mission to be present for you. To help you feel safe, and secure as you find your way into parenthood. To enable you to advocate for yourself by helping you find the words and questions to ask that will get you the results that you seek. So, let’s keep it real! You need real support, in real time, when making really important decisions. Invite me, Nadine Louis, A Queen’s Doula to be part of your royal court! Labor Doula services include the following: A Queen’s Consultation: This is a complimentary visit where you ask all of your important questions, and where we truly come to know one another. This face to face meeting is an incredible opportunity for us to build a connection while we discuss your goals for your birth. Together we will discover how A Queen’s Doula can best support you during this experience. Once you have enlisted our services, we will schedule your prenatal meeting. A Majestic Meeting: Your safety and security are my primary concern. Whether you choose for us to meet in your home, or, any other private space, I honor your decision. It is important that you are comfortable, so that you can confidently share your wishes and worries with me during this meeting. Together, we will explore all of your options, emotions, beliefs, needs, concerns and desires, and we will begin to formulate a plan for your birth. When you leave this meeting, I intend for you to feel excited, and prepared for the labor and birth of your baby. At Your Command: Throughout your pregnancy, all of my knowledge, referrals, and vetted resources will literally be at your fingertips. Support is only a click away, so when you need an answer, insight, or an ear, lean in and press dial or send. Whether it is a phone call, text, email, or video chat, I won’t just be virtually present, I will really be there for you. I will show up for you and I will do so without judgment or bias. A Noble Birth: Your due date means that this doula is on call for you! I am accessible, and at your beck and call so that you can share your progress, I can help you navigate your emotions, reduce your fears, and share in your excitement. Dedicated to your care, I am fully prepared to jump into action and be by your side, when you decide that you are ready for my in-person support. I will be with you throughout your entire labor and birth, comforting you, and empowering your experience. I will stay with you until your baby is in your arms and you feel confident, comfortable and settled. A Royal Follow Up Visit: As you return to your home with your newborn, your reign as a new parent will begin. The support of A Queen’s Doula continues with my scheduled in-person postpartum follow up visit. While this transition may feel like it is royally kicking your butt, I hope you know, you’ve got this, and I’ve got you. Resting and recovering are equally as important for you, as feeding, sleeping, bathing, and changing diapers are for your baby. With my support you can confidently regain control of your routine. I am with you to answer your questions, help you achieve your parenting philosophies, and offer you wisdom, tricks and tips to recognize and navigate your “new normal” with your newborn prince or princess!
