Olalla Childbirth Education and Newborn Services
OCEANS
I have taught childbirth education for 12 years and have helped hundreds on parents navigate this exciting journey. I have personal experience with both hospital and home births, two of each with my four children.
In my teaching, I emphasize Evidence-Based care without judgment, always recognizing and honoring the innate wisdom each woman possesses to grow and birth her baby.
Classes
I am currently offering 4 week, 6 week and weekend intensive classes in the comfort of your home.
I am happy to tailor the classes to your particular needs. In general we will cover stages of labor, pregnancy nutrition, relaxation, interventions and postpartum/newborn care, but can focus on areas you prefer. Having a support person attend classes is highly recommended.
Newborn Services
Postpartum Doula
I also offer postpartum doula services. I would be honored to offer you a few hours of respite, whether it's for some much-needed sleep, quality time with your older children, assistance with breast/chest feeding or simply to have the support of an experienced mom by your side as you navigate this new journey. $35/hour

Postpartum Personal Chef
I am also available to cook healthy (allergy appropriate) meals for your family during the postpartum period. Please contact me for the current weekly menu.
​
Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is believed to activate the release of endorphins, which are hormones that can help reduce pain and promote feelings of well-being. There is also evidence to suggest it increases energy levels, enriches breastmilk to stimulate infant weight gain, protects against post partum depression and aids your body in returning to pre pregnancy condition faster. $100 within 20 miles
