From pregnancy through the early postpartum period, I offer continuous support as your birth doula — providing informational, emotional, and compassionate care, as well as non-medical bridging support throughout your journey.

During labor, I stay with you from early labor until several hours after your baby is born, helping create an emotional foundation of safety, calmness, and confidence for both you and your partner.

The Comfort of Having a Doula Beside You

There may be moments when:

  • You feel lonely in the hospital

  • You struggle to express what you truly want

  • You want to revisit your birth plan

  • Your emotions feel overwhelming

  • Your partner also feels uncertain or anxious

During these moments, I remain available and on-call to support you.

Over the months of pregnancy, we build a trusting relationship together. Having a familiar doula beside you during birth can bring deep reassurance, emotional safety, and confidence.

I also work closely with partners so that neither mother nor partner feels alone throughout the process.

Notice of Price Revision

Thank you always for your interest in my support services.

In order to continue improving the quality of care and maintaining a safe, sustainable support system for families, the pricing for Doula Package Services will be revised starting January 1st, 2026.

My work has always been centered around creating an environment where every family can experience birth with safety, dignity, understanding, and respect.

The support I provide includes:

  • Long-term continuous support from pregnancy through postpartum

  • International doula education and ongoing professional training

  • 24-hour on-call availability beginning two weeks before the estimated due date

  • Multicultural and multilingual communication support

  • Non-medical bridging support with healthcare providers

These services require deep presence, emotional energy, professional dedication, and ongoing learning.

In order to maintain and further strengthen the quality of care I provide, I have made the decision to revise the pricing structure.

I will continue supporting each family wholeheartedly so that your birth experience can be filled with choices that feel true to you, along with safety, trust, and emotional support.

Thank you sincerely for your understanding and continued trust.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Ikumi Fritz
