Macy Sto. Domingo-Heib

Pregnancy support: €300

My pregnancy support and companionship includes:

4x Prenatal Sessions of 1:1 in-home support (2 hours each)

• planning and preparing for birth - we will look at your birth preferences/wishes and go over what different things can happen during birth so you can best prepare for the journey ahead

• birth education tailored to your needs - what are the effects of certain interventions? Can I have a vaginal birth if I’m having twins? Under what circumstances am I allowed to have a home birth? I will help answer any questions you may have surrounding your birth.

• breathing techniques, meditation and visualisation for pregnancy and birth

• prenatal education tailored to your needs - what foods should I focus on to help prepare my body for birth? Am I really not allowed to sleep on my back? What kind of movement can I do to help keep me comfortable as my body grows? All of these are examples of what we will go over to make sure you’re feeling supported and informed during your entire pregnancy

• preparing your home for the arrival of baby and making sure that we have set you up for healing and nourishment as you navigate parenthood with a newborn

• ongoing support throughout your pregnancy via telephone, email and SMS

Birth support: €1100

My birth and labour support includes:

3x Prenatal Session (up to 2 hours each) during pregnancy

24/7 on call availability from 10 days prior to your estimated due date until you go into labour

I will be by your side, providing continuous support both emotionally and physically throughout your entire labour and birth.

support during your labour and birth can look like: translating between you and hospital staff, assisting with optimal birthing positions, bringing you food and drink, allowing your partner to rest, giving you counter pressure during contractions, advocating for your choices, keeping the room safe etc.

1x postpartum visit (up to 2 hours) within the first two weeks after birth. During this visit I can offer gentle sleep and feeding strategies, we can go over your birth experience, I can cuddle baby while you rest and relax, help connect you to healthcare professionals based on your individual needs, etc

continuous support via telephone and SMS

Postpartum Support: €40/hour, unless covered by health insurance (see below)

My postpartum care is holistic and I am here to provide nurturing support in every way. This can include:

providing a safe space and listening ear if you want to go over your birth experience

assist with light household chores and tend to pets or other children if you have them, including taking them for walks, going to the spielplatz, etc.

preparing nutritious meals/snacks to nurture your body

newborn care, including tips on infant sleep, cloth diapering, feeding support, etc

traditional methods of postpartum care, including belly binding, suob (yoni steaming), herbal bath, etc

Pre-postnatal ceremonies: starting at €200, but dependent on wants/needs

In many cultures, holding ceremony is a sacred practice to honour life’s greatest transitions. This is not a babyshower, this is a celebration of you - body, mind spirit, soul - as you prepare to welcome your child into this world.

Together with your loved ones, I will hold space for you as we lay down a foundation of encouragement and love for the journey ahead. We will take this moment to connect with the roots of who you are, draw strength from those who love you, and honour your unique path to parenthood.

We can hold ceremony in person 1:1, in small groups, in large groups or with you and a loved one. The choice is entirely yours.

Placenta art: prices starting at €60

When you decide to create lasting memories with your placenta, we can arrange a time for me to come pick it up from you. If I happen to be your birth doula, I would simply take it with me after you’ve welcomed your child earthside.

The print will be made on high-quality art paper and can be done with the placenta’s blood or with watercolour paint - the choice of colour and medium is completely yours.

I can create floral designs using watercolours or real pressed flowers (as shown in photos).

Fertility

I can also offer support for fertility, including for the queer community. Together, we will look at how to prepare yourself holistically to conceive, including nutrition and day-to-day stress factors. Contact me if you're interested in me supporting you.

I strive to make my support accessible to everyone, and therefore offer payment plans and sliding scales. Get in touch if you’d like to know more about this.
