Other Touch of Life SERVICES

First 48
Have me come (or return) to your home or hospital room to film the sweet moments of bonding. Have me film your baby meeting his/her siblings, grandparents, or just everyone caressing and enjoying your brand new baby. This is ideal if you are not interested in having the actual birth filmed but would like some incredible moments captured. Includes a 1 song film and up to 30 high resolution photo stills (mini-newborn session and meeting family) for use in birth announcements, facebook, or scrapbooking.

Doula
A professional doula will attend your birth. She’ll be professionally trained in the art of labor comfort measures and provide support for you. Includes prenatal appointment and birth services. Your choice of my favorite doulas. This rate is most likely lower than their rates as they have agreed to work with me and my clients at this rate.

Doula in training
A doula in training will attend your birth. She’ll be working towards her certification and will be trained in the art of labor comfort measures. Includes prenatal appointment and birth services.

Catering Services-Hospital
Did you know that the hospital “nutrition station” is only for you as the mother and consists of cheap little junk food snacks? The rest of your birth team (and you if you don’t like snacks) must seek food in the hospital cafeteria (bleh) or go out for fast food. Make sure everyone at your birth is energetic and fed and can stay with you at all times! Up to 40 different kinds of deluxe candy bars, granola bars, fresh fruits and nuts. With milk and juice (and soda if wanted) in a cooler. Paper products provided.

Catering Service-Home Birth
Food Services for Mom and birth team- Chocolate and donuts? Fresh granola, blueberries, fruits and a yogurt dipping sauce? We'll work with you on a menu to fit your cravings. We'll bring all the food and lay it out so that you and your family and birth team are well-fed during your labor. Your midwives will LOVE this! And you’ll enjoy the leftovers. Includes table cloth and paper products in your birth color.
