Smith, Jerika

My birth doula fee reflects years of hands-on experience supporting laboring families alongside numerous holistic midwives. As a student midwife, I spent 2.5 years learning directly in birth rooms—observing patterns, supporting long labors, witnessing a wide range of birth experiences, and understanding how preparation, environment, and steady support shape the way birth unfolds. This package includes intentional prenatal sessions that go beyond surface-level education. We focus on how labor may ebb and flow, how to work with your body, how partners can offer meaningful support in real time, and how to stay flexible when plans shift. I’m on call from 37–42 weeks and provide continuous labor and birth support for hospital, birth center, or home births, including inductions, epidurals, and cesareans. You’re investing in experienced, intuitive support—rooted in holistic care, intentional preparation, and a steady presence shaped by experience with both home and hospital birth.
