How is your diet? What is your postpartum plan? What will you do with your placenta? Do you plan to pump at work?…..Aaaarrrrggghhhh! (Where’s that face smacking emoji?) Let us help.

Sit down with one of the Collective’s Professional Birth Doulas to help you find the answers to all these questions and more. You’ll receive a personalized checklist to get you started + TONS of RVA local resources to maintain your birth flow and help make that impending birthday a little easier.

“I had a very difficult time breastfeeding. I honestly believe that I would not still be nursing today without her support and guidance. She empowered me to keep going and was available whenever I needed her in those first few weeks to listen, provide support and offer advice. Melanie is knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
