Meet Monica Lane- Founder of Doula Lane Delivers
As your Doula, I am your assistant or coach, who provides various forms of non-medical support during pregnancy and in the childbirth process. I support mothers and her partner during labor at home, continue while in transport, and then remain with the mother until settled after the birth at a hospital or a birth center.
The goal of a doula is to adapt to, support the mother’s philosophy, and help her to have a positive and safe birth experience, whether the mother wants an un-medicated birth or is having a planned cesarean birth.
I strongly support inclusivity for all families. As an experienced doula who will support prenatally and during labor and beyond, I offer families a variety of care packages for affordable doula support. With an inclusive focus on BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and low-income families, I am committed to providing informed, affirming, and competent care. I believe that every single woman and family should have access to a doula's support. The families I support will feel empowered, validated, confident, and consistently supported, guided by evidence-based information and resources.
As a Postpartum Doula, I provide postpartum mother-care, newborn-care and support to families with newborns, including multiples, preemies and special needs babies. This service goes above and beyond what is offered by Overnight Baby Nurses and Newborn Nannies.
In-home support is vital to a new family’s success - whatever form it takes. I ensure mothers recieve enough rest and are eating well to produce enough breast milk to feed her newborn(s). If the mother is bottle-feeding her baby, I am trained in sterilization and in preparation of formula as well as infant digestion, to assist with colic, gas and tummy troubles.
I look forward to supporting you along you journey.
