Doula Support for Pregnancy, Birth and Postpartum

For those who wish to be radically present through the life-changing portal of giving birth.

PREGNANCY & BIRTH

Ebbing and flowing with you toward a calm, intuitive, and empowered birthing journey, rooted in intention, connection, and collaborative preparation.

What's included:

Shaping your ideal birth

Together, we’ll craft a birth plan as unique as your journey—whether it’s a tranquil home birth, an unmedicated hospital experience, an epidural as soon as possible, or a planned cesarean. Your vision becomes the sacred thread we’ll follow as we design a space where your desires and intuition guide the way.

Holding Space for Emotional Flow

Pregnancy is a time of transformation, stirring emotions and unearthing deep rooted and often hidden fears. Through somatic practices and grounding rituals, I’ll help you release what no longer serves you, leaving you centered and aligned to welcome your baby with trust and clarity.

Bodywork in Rhythm with Breath

Drawing on the energy of yoga and the nurturing power of bodywork, we’ll flow through movements and release tension, creating openness and ease in your body. Each session is a practice of connection—between you, your body, and your baby.

Empowering the Sacred Partner Bond

Your partner is an integral part of your birthing experience. I’ll offer tools, techniques, and insights to help them feel confident and prepared to support you. Together, we’ll strengthen the bond that grounds and sustains you both through this journey.

Flowing with Baby’s Position

With gentle, intentional movement and yoga-inspired rituals, we’ll align your body and guide your baby into an optimal position for birth. These exercises invite grace and ease into your birthing process, making space for baby to flow into the world.

Let’s move through this sacred transition together, honoring your body, your baby, and the natural rhythm of this journey.

  • Unlimited email and phone support

  • On call 24/7 after 37 weeks of gestation

POSTPARTUM

Claire Koepke postpartum doula cooking a healthy meal for the family

Bringing life into the world transforms you—body, mind, and spirit. Whether your journey to birth was winding and long or smooth and steady, the postpartum season asks for deep rest, nourishment, and tenderness.

This is a time to honor your healing, process your experience, and embrace your new identity. 

As your postpartum doula, I am here to weave care into the fabric of your days, tending to the foundational needs of you and your baby with presence, intuition, and respect.

Classic Postpartum Support -

Rooted in practicality and care, my offerings include newborn guidance, light household tidying (fresh sheets, infant laundry folded and organized with intention), and holding space for you—whether that’s time to shower, nap, or connect with older children. These small acts of service create a container for your healing to unfold organically.

My approach is fluid, attuned to where you are each day, with specialties in postpartum nutrition, mindful movement through yoga, and calming nervous system support—tools to ground you in this sacred, shifting season.

What’s included:

YOGA-INFUSED BODYWORK

Your body has done the miraculous; your soul, too, has stretched and grown. Postpartum movement is a gentle invitation to return to yourself—an integration of your physical and emotional experience.

Through hands-on restorative yoga postures, yoga nidra, reiki, and grounding scalp or foot massages, we’ll create space for healing and renewal.

Imagine this: the scent of dinner warming in the oven, your baby peacefully napping nearby, and soft hands guiding you toward stillness. Together, we’ll calm your nervous system, awaken your energy, and restore the harmony of your body and mind.

RESTORE YOUR CORE

When your body feels ready, we’ll explore gentle postnatal movements designed to reconnect you with your strength. These practices honor your unique healing experience, blending diaphragmatic breathing and mindful movement to nurture both power and softness.

Think of this as a ritual for reclaiming your center—a quiet reconnection with the deep wisdom of your body.

NOURISHMENT

In the postpartum season, food is alchemy. The act of nourishing yourself with warmth and intention can be as healing as the food itself.

I create meals, snacks, and drinks infused with care—anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense, and deeply grounding. These are foods that warm your belly, balance your hormones, and soothe your soul. Whether you choose from my favorite recipes or share your own, I’ll gather, chop, and prepare each dish with love, filling your fridge with calm and comfort.

  • "Claire was incredibly helpful and supportive. Having her presence made the experience positive and enjoyable for both my wife and me. Thanks again, Claire!" - J. E.

  • "As a first time mom, I was very intimidated by the whole birthing process. So glad to have had Claire with us, she was calm, warm and so knowledgeable." - D. W.

  • She was a miracle worker, especially with our newborn who had colic and would cry for hours on end.

    "Claire was always ready to help with whatever needed doing. She has a wonderful sense of what people need, and attending to that need, often before it has been articulated. She was a miracle worker, especially with our newborn who had colic and would cry for hours on end. Claire always had a calm presence and never seemed to get unnerved by the crying. She was also quite wonderful with our young boys, who were not always easy. She knows how to be firm yet loving, and is always up for an adventure."

    -C.P.

  • I am so grateful we found Claire to support our family through such an important time in our lives. She helped me as I changed providers from a hospital team to a home birth midwife and I had a successful HBAC (VBAC at home). I couldn’t have done this without her. She gave me the space to trust myself and allow my wildest dream birth to come true. I will never forget the morning of my daughter’s birth and how she held our hands, guided, and took care of us through it all. She was also a wonderful resource to turn to throughout my pregnancy and postpartum. She had constant and clear communication. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to be my doula should I ever have another baby. You won’t find anyone more caring or knowledgeable than Claire! -J.A. 

  • Claire is such a nourishing, thoughtful, and skilled practitioner.

    From the way she cares for babies & new moms to her restorative postnatal yoga & breathwork, to the well of knowledge about all things pre- and post-natal support– she was such an invaluable part of my recovery and well-being during such a tender time. -L.G.

  • I couldn't have asked for better support both mentally and physically.

    Claire was amazing leading up to my birth – always available if I had questions and was even more amazing during labor – helping me move positions, work through contractions and overall support the vibe we wanted in the room. She was also a great support for my husband. I honestly can't recommend her enough. -K.S.
