Supporting Women and Families
Birth is a life changing event, but with my nurturing support, you will learn to be comfortable with the idea of giving birth. As your doula/birthkeeper, you can count on me to make sure you feel confident throughout the entire process.
​
I have created a few lists with birth kits and postpartum necessities along with other helpful links to websites with valuable information. Most of these items were a must for me. I hope that you find this helpful.
Birth Kits
Radiant Belly have very affordable birth kits. They have 3 different kits to chose from. I order the one in the middle for my freebirth in 2019 it wasn't more than $40. I end up not using all the things it came with. It also comes with a standard peri bottle. Radiant Belly is used by midwives they have tons of items. They also carry some herbs and tinctures. I was really impressed with their costumer service. Always recommend them.
​
In His Hands also carries homebirth kits, herbal products, water birth supplies, tinctures etc.
Postpartum Care
I have marked some items "must haves" but honestly anything on this list you will thank me later. Of course this is more of a guide; purchase according to your needs.
