How a Doula Package Works
If you are considering having me as your doula for your birth, send me an email. Please include the name of the co-doula you would like to have with me. The sooner you reach out, the better the chances that I will be available around your due date.
We will then schedule a free, non-binding meeting of approximately 30 minutes to see if we are a good fit. This can take place over the phone or in person at Doula Huset. Since I only offer doula packages where we are two doulas, we will agree on the second doula before the first meeting.
If you decide to move forward with me as your doula, you will receive a contract outlining the doula package and payment agreements.
Next, we will schedule our prenatal meetings. We will meet up to four times for two-hour sessions where we discuss your birth preferences and dreams. These sessions include birth preparation, breathing techniques, breastfeeding preparation, postpartum planning, processing previous birth experiences, and getting to know each other.
If you wish, you can receive a relaxing pregnancy massage, and we will also teach your partner how to provide rebozo massage for you.
When labor begins, we will come to you or meet you at the hospital, depending on your birth location. We will be with you throughout the entire birth (unless you prefer otherwise). Once your baby is born and you are settled in safely, we will quietly leave. Typically, we stay with you for 2-3 hours after birth.
After birth, we will visit you within the first few weeks to go over your birth experience. If desired, we also offer a motherwarming session with moxa and a rebozo closing ceremony. If you need additional breastfeeding support or help processing the birth, we are happy to visit again.
Our support ends no later than six weeks postpartum.
The Doula Package Includes:
- Two doulas supporting you throughout the entire process
- Up to 4 prenatal meetings (each approximately 2 hours)
- Comprehensive birth and breastfeeding preparation
- 5-week on-call period from week 37-42
- Full birth support (one of us will be at your birth – possibly both, if desired and possible)

General Information:
- In my doula packages, we always work in pairs. (I primarily collaborate with Ditte Marquart, Stine Maj Willy, and Cecilie Ravn Kirkegaard, but I am open to other partnerships as well.) We take turns being on call during your due period. Both of us will be present at the prenatal and postpartum meetings.
- Meetings can take place at Doula Huset Aarhus or at your home if you live nearby.
- If you are planning a home birth, we prefer to have at least one prenatal meeting at your home.
- If labor starts outside of your due month, we will do our best to be there anyway.
- Installment payments are possible, but the full amount must be paid before week 37+0.
- If you are borrowing a birth pool for a home birth, you will need to purchase your own liner and hose for filling the pool. I provide a pump, water pump, drainage hose, and faucet connectors that you can borrow.
Unfortunately, I only cover an area within approximately one hour’s drive from Hinnerup.

- Breastfeeding support

- Picking up and caring for older children

Breastfeeding Support
I help you establish and maintain breastfeeding, ensuring that you and your baby get the best possible start together.
Processing Your Birth Experience
Talking about your birth can be healing. I listen to your story and help you process your experience at your own pace.
Baby Care Support
From practical advice on diaper changes, sleep, and baby well-being to general support in your new role as a parent, I help you feel confident in making the choices that feel right for your family.
Grocery Shopping, Laundry, and Light Cleaning
I assist with household tasks such as small grocery runs, light cleaning, dishwashing, and general tidying so that you can relax and focus on your new family.
Picking Up and Caring for Older Children
If you have older children, I can help pick them up from school or daycare and look after them so you can have the time you need. (If I am picking up your children, we will first spend time getting to know each other so they feel comfortable with me.)
Caring for Your Baby
If you need rest, a nap, or just a shower, I can care for your baby and give you a well-deserved break.
Assistance with Babywearing
I show you how to use a baby wrap to carry your baby safely and comfortably, helping both of you feel secure and connected.
Motherwarming with Moxa
Motherwarming is a beautiful way to restore energy after birth and is best done within the first week postpartum. I use a moxa stick (made from dried mugwort) to gently warm and stimulate specific points on your body, promoting relaxation and recovery.
Rebozo Closing Ritual
Using rebozo scarves, I wrap your body while you rest in a cozy space, helping you feel grounded and reconnected to your body after birth. A rebozo closing ritual can symbolize the transition from pregnancy to this new phase of life and provide emotional and physical support.
Personalized Postpartum Support
My focus is to be a continuous support in your daily life. Together, we can plan a schedule where I come to your home for a set number of hours each week, ensuring you always have a helping hand when you need it.
You can choose from different package options depending on what best suits your needs.
