FULL CIRCLE BIRTH SUPPORT

*Birth Support category includes prenatal, labor, birth and immediate postpartum support

PRENATAL

Connecting to your body and baby:

Your care includes three prenatal visits with your selected Birth Keeper. These sessions provide dedicated time to build relationship and prepare for your birth experience. Together, we will explore your birth preferences, discuss comfort measures, and review what to expect throughout the phases and stages of labour.

Prenatal visits also offer space for traditional teachings related to pregnancy and birth, grounded in cultural knowledge and community care. Each visit is thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs, values, and birthing goals.

All clients receive access to the Kilila Lending Library, a curated collection of resources on pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early parenting to further support informed and empowered decision-making

LABOUR AND BIRTH

Entering into the ceremony of birth:

You will receive on-call support beginning at 37 weeks of pregnancy and continuing until the birth of your baby, ensuring consistent availability as you approach labour.

Your Birth Keeper will provide continuous in-person labour support, remaining with you throughout your birthing experience, as well as 1–2 hours of immediate postpartum support to assist with the initial transition, comfort, and early bonding.

Clients also have access to supportive comfort tools, including a birth pool and TENS machine, to enhance pain management and promote a positive birth experience.

We can provide referrals to trusted local community resources to ensure you remain supported beyond our time together.

Should you require additional postpartum care—such as dedicated postpartum doula support—please speak with your Birth Keeper to discuss options and make appropriate arrangements tailored to your needs.
