Doula Services

I offer to be your doula and birth witness through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Doula Packages:

BASIC

2 x 90 min birth preparation sessions: We get to know each other and talk about your and your partner’s wishes/expectations/concerns/dreams regarding the upcoming birth, the partner's role, and the doula's role.

  • Learn about the physiological birth process/hormones/mother and baby’s cooperation.
  • Learn relaxation and breathing techniques, beneficial daily exercises, what to do and not to do, massage, and good birthing positions.
  • Nutrition, book tips, postpartum period.

Phone/email/chat support (outside of the on-call period): This also includes the birth partner’s questions and concerns.

On-call period 24/7: From week 38 until the baby is born!

Continuous Birth Support: The type of support each woman and family needs is individual and requires improvisational flexibility from my side. We will discuss in detail how you want my role to be during the birth preparation sessions. I stay with you throughout the entire birth process until the baby is born and you/you both feel safe, calm, and ready to rest—usually 2–4 hours after birth.

Postpartum Support: You/you both receive 2 hours of postpartum support/follow-up conversation within the first 14 days after birth. This session can be used to talk about your birth experience, breastfeeding support, or anything else you might need to discuss.

Price: NOK 32,000 Note: If you live more than 60 minutes away, travel costs and parking fees during the birth will be added.

Get in Touch

"My wonderful, warm, kind, and reassuring birth doula, Anette!

She came to our home for a prenatal consultation to prepare for what I, the mother-to-be, and we as a couple wanted and needed during the birth.

She is available during the anxious time before birth when thoughts are racing. She helped me through difficult thoughts and stress when the baby was ten days overdue.

With her strong hands, she helped me through contractions. She is present without taking up too much space, and she was right where I needed her throughout the birth. She is full of knowledge, care, and humor.

She comes for maternity visits during the first few weeks, dries and encapsulates the placenta if desired, and answers questions about the baby, carrying, breastfeeding, and sore tears.

All women in labor need a doula like Anette.”

—Andrea, second-time mom and home birther
