Ease Paths

We all want support. Period.

But that desire for support differs from woman to woman and even birth to birth. 

Below are just a few of the ways I want to show up for you. Each Ease Path has a varying level of doula involvement based on your comfort level and even your budget.

Scroll down to find the best fit for you!

 

Education Path

The Education Path is for the mama who wants all the information, but wants only her closest people at her birth. With 2 prenatal sessions (either in-person at your home or virtual), Karissa will go over the entire educational trimester bundle with you. You will have space to ask questions, process concerns and fears, learn what to ask your provider, and practice birthing positions and coping techniques with your partner.

Expand the sections below for path details. 

If you are interested in the Education Path, please complete the contact form to reach out to Karissa.

[+$100 if outside a 30 mile radius of Chattanooga, TN]

Education Path Details

In-Person Services

This package includes 2 in-person or virtual prenatal sessions. (In-person home visits include the Chattanooga, TN / Nashville, TN / Knoxville, TN / Atlanta, GA area)

We will go over the information in your digital resources, discuss your birth plan & postpartum sanctuary plan, cover any questions you have, role play scenarios, and practice birthing positions.

I suggest that your partner or another person that will be present during labor attend these sessions.

Virtual Services

You have the option to have your 2 prenatal sessions virtually if you prefer or if you live out of a 50 mile radius of Chattanooga, TN.

Digital Resources

Digital pack includes:

  • birth plan template
  • postpartum sanctuary plan template
  • first, second, third, & "fourth" trimester bundle
  • informed decision making
  • birthing positions
  • comfort techniques

Affirmation Path

The Affirmation Path combines digital resources and virtual doula support. If you would like Karissa as your doula, but do not live in the Chattanooga, TN area, this is a great path for you! The educational material is available for you to learn on your own, but Karissa will be available to process through your birth intentions and then support you and your partner via call/text/face time during labor.

Virtual labor support means that you can have face-time access with any questions you have during labor and check-ins as mama progresses. This is great support for your partner to know how to help in the moment.

Support Path

The Support Path is the total package. This is a complete birth doula support service. It includes in person visits with Karissa in your home where we will go over everything you and your partner need to know and prepare for your labor. You will be in communication with Karissa via text and email throughout pregnancy, as well as in-person sessions to ask questions, have space to process and practice birthing positions, and access to the entire digital bundle.
