Why Doula Services For All ?
Earthside was founded with a fiery passion for accessibility, truly safe spaces, and a whole lot of love for humans. We believe that the right mental and physical support is of immeasurable importance for all birthing people and the community as a whole. Feeling seen, heard, safe, and held during this time is for everyone.
We offer a sliding scale fee structure for all services, including certified doula support. This means that our fees are flexible and can be adjusted based on your intimate situation. Those in marginalized groups are automatically given a lesser fee. If you feel that the support of Earthside's trained doulas is what is best for your needs, you will not be turned away due to a lack of financial resources.
peace, equality, love, and human connection
are our roots
in the sacred realm where life takes form
their body shifts with changes
in their strength, the universe resides
a dance with nature, a knowing exchanges
in sync with Mother Earth’s heartbeat
they surrender and sway
a divine partnership, on the perfect Birthday
a dance with nature, Jo House
Our Doula Services
We offer Birth Doula services for all births, whether you are planning to bring your baby earthside at home, hospital, or birth center—medicated, un-medicated, or cesarean birth. We are prepared and excited to support you in your experience.
We currently offer overnight Postpartum Doula care. This service is tailored to the type of support you need with your newborn at home. From labor and delivery to settling in at home, we’re with you.
Placenta encapsulation is offered as a stand-alone service or can be bundled with another service. This service will be discussed in-depth between you and your encapsulation specialist.
Protect your most precious cargo by ensuring your child’s car seat is used correctly—reducing the risk of fatal injury by up to 71% for infants. In this hands-on learning opportunity for new and expecting parents and caregivers, you will gain confidence and knowledge on how to choose, install, and secure a car seat properly.
As you embark on this beautiful journey, here is a quick and simplified difference between the two!
Midwives? They're your healthcare protectors, ensuring the well-being of both you and your little one(s). They cover the internal health and sometimes even catch the baby!
Doulas? They're your emotional anchors, here to soothe your soul. Doulas won't advise into the medical side, but they will offer efforts of physical comfort and unwavering support in your perinatal experience and birth goals.
Remember, you have choices in this voyage. Some choose both—a midwife for the medical knowledge and a doula for the emotional embrace. It's all about what feels like the best choice for you and your goals.
