Virtual Doula Support

During this pandemic we are still here to make sure you and your family get the support that is needed while making sure everyone stays healthy and follows the CDC recommendations.


Virtual Doula Support is nothing new to us at Balanced Bellies, we have been providing this for 7 years as some of our clients will move and will still want to work with the same Doula they did during their previous pregnancy and/or Postpartum period.
Hourly consults are also perfect for past clients to address unique challenges that may arise in the months or years following the successful implementation of a sleep plan. Common issues include switching to one nap, moving to a new home, introducing solids, or the introduction of a new sibling.
