Boston Birth Doula Services

Aila Birth Village | Boston Birth Doula | Boston Birth Photographer | Boston Birth Photography

As your doula, we work together to release control and fear so your body can do the work it was perfectly designed to perform. No two births are the same so I prioritize ensuring this time is authentically shaped by you, your goals, and your values.

When you choose me as your doula, you gain a passionate advocate who is available to answer questions at any time. Our conversations are candid and evidence-based, forming a personalized, flexible birth plan that centers your needs, your partner’s wishes, and your family’s unique journey. I support diverse families across hospitals, birth centers, or home births with certified midwives.

My role goes beyond planning. I provide emotional support, guidance, and partnership throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I help your partner step in or step back as needed, ensuring the birth experience honors everyone involved. Communication is open and ongoing, whether by text, email, phone, or in-person.

As a registered nurse, I translate complex medical information into clear, actionable guidance, blending knowledge with your birth goals. My support is comprehensive, culturally sensitive, and focused on preparing, empowering, and reassuring your family every step of the way.

The comprehensive in-person support package investment starts at $1,400. You can add-on our photography package for $1000. Sliding scale fees are available upon request - reach out today!
