Early Planning

Early Planning

For those considering pregnancy or navigating conception.

Thoughtful guidance and space to explore your options with clarity. Whether you're preparing your body, facing uncertainty, processing early loss, or simply wondering where to begin, this is steady, informed support at the very start of the journey. Cycle awareness, nervous-system regulation, planning confidence, and quiet presence through whatever comes up. Sessions in person or by video, wherever you are.

Starting at $45/hr

Flexible packages based on your needs. In person or virtual.

Virtual anywhere
Standalone Birth Prep

Standalone Birth Prep

Confidence and a real plan — for you and your partner — with or without a doula in the room.

Two or three private sessions (virtual or in-person, anywhere) covering birth preferences, comfort techniques, partner prep, and the decisions that might come up during labor. Your partner practices alongside you, so you both walk in with a role. You'll leave with a personalized birth preferences document and a comfort measures guide. For families who want focused preparation without day-of doula support.

Starting at $450

Live Birth Support

Live Birth Support

Preparation for labor, personalized birth planning, and continuous in-person support throughout.

Together, we clarify your preferences, practice comfort techniques, and prepare for both the expected and the unexpected — your partner included, with a real role instead of a corner to stand in. From 37 weeks I'm on call day or night. During labor: grounded presence, movement guidance, and nervous-system regulation for you, real-time coaching for your partner, so you both feel steady and capable when it matters most. A postpartum home visit closes the arc.

Starting at $1,600

Payment plans and sliding scale available.

Virtual anywhere
Postpartum Support

Postpartum Support

Care for recovery, adjustment, and integration after birth.

In-home support for recovery, adjustment, and the early weeks with your baby. Hands-on help with feeding, newborn care, and physical recovery, along with steady emotional support as you both find your rhythm. Not nearby? Virtual postpartum and lactation check-ins bring the same steady support to your couch, wherever that is.

Starting at $45/hr

Hours in blocks. Minimum 4-hr initial block ($180). Virtual check-ins: $45/session, no minimum.

Included with every package

Every client gets
the portal.

Working with MotherBee Care comes with more than my presence at your visits. From day one, you get a private portal that's yours for the entire journey — included with every package.

It's where everything lives: a contraction timer that can alert me the moment labor picks up, a breathing library for the hard minutes, baby-care logs for the blurry early days, your check-in journal, a hospital bag checklist, and guided worksheets — including birth preferences you can print and hand to your provider.

It's organized by where you are right now, whether that's preparing for conception, navigating pregnancy, approaching birth, or finding your footing postpartum. And it's about to make room for one more: partner access is on the way, so the person walking through this with you has a place in it too.

No apps to juggle. No paperwork to dig through. Just one calm, beautiful place, always accessible, always yours.

Clients get their sign-in details directly from me when we begin working together.

How it works

From the first conversation
to the first weeks home.

Working with a doula should not feel like a leap into the unknown. The shape stays the same whether you are trying to conceive, planning a birth, or finding your footing postpartum. It scales to meet you where you are.

  1. 01

    A free intro chat

    Thirty minutes, no script, no pressure. You ask anything you want and we see if working together feels right.

  2. 02

    We make a plan

    One or more planning visits to map out what you want, what you are worried about, and what real support looks like for you.

  3. 03

    I show up

    Whether that means being on call for labor, an in-home postpartum shift, or a fertility check-in. When you need me, I am there.

  4. 04

    We close the arc

    A final visit to process what happened, talk through next steps, and make sure you are being cared for too.

Questions

You're probably wondering

If your question isn't here, just ask. That's what the free call is for.

Ask me directly
What services do you offer?

Full-spectrum doula support: fertility & preconception, birth preparation, pregnancy & birth support, and postpartum care. I serve families in person throughout the North Shore, Greater Boston, and Southern NH — and virtually anywhere: birth prep, day-of virtual birth support, and postpartum check-ins all work over video. Each stage scales, from a single planning session to full-arc care.

Can my partner be involved?

Please bring them. Prep sessions are built for two: your partner practices comfort techniques alongside you and learns how to actually help in the room. During labor I work with your partner, not around them — supporting them is part of supporting you. And partner access to the client portal is on the way, so they'll have a place for all of it too.

Do you support VBAC and high-risk pregnancies?

Yes. I support families planning VBAC and those navigating higher-risk pregnancies. When additional medical care is involved, I work alongside your providers to help you feel informed, steady, and supported. My role is not to replace medical care but to help you navigate complex decisions with grounded presence.

What are your payment terms?

A 40% deposit is required to reserve your due date and secure on-call availability. The remaining balance is due at 37 weeks, or two weeks prior to a planned birth. Payment plans are available, and I offer a limited number of sliding scale spaces each year. If cost is a concern, reach out. Let's explore what's possible.

What if my plans change?

The initial deposit becomes non-refundable after 48 hours, since it covers the individualized preparation that begins well before labor. If circumstances shift after that, I approach these situations with clarity, professionalism, and mutual respect. Birth is dynamic, and I understand that.

What does a doula actually do?

A doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth. I don't make decisions for you. I help you understand your options, feel less alone, and trust yourself. Research consistently shows doula support leads to better outcomes and more positive birth experiences.

Do you offer photography or creative keepsakes?

Yes. Pregnancy and birth photography, belly painting, hand and foot molds, and custom baby books are available through my sister creative practice, Amphista Arts. These are optional add-ons that can be integrated into your care experience.

How do I know if I'm ready to reach out?

If you're wondering whether you need support, that's probably a sign you do. You don't need to have anything figured out. The free 30-minute chat is just a conversation. No commitment, no pressure. We'll talk about where you are and whether working together makes sense.
