I have been a proud supporter and volunteer with Hope's Embrace since it's beginning in 2016. Hope's Embrace is "a nonprofit community doula program that provides comprehensive maternal healthcare mentoring for under-served families during pregnancy and the critical first year after birth." They provide the following services:

• birth doula
• postpartum doula
• newborn care
• childbirth education classes (group and private)
• prenatal coaching sessions
• breastfeeding education
• lactation services and support from an Certified Advanced Lactation Specialist

All of these services are offered on a sliding payment scale based off your family income. I personally partner with Hope's Embrace to help provide birth/postpartum doula services, childbirth education classes, and prenatal coaching sessions. All the services are available to women and their families in our area. If you would like to apply, please contact Hope's Embrace directly via the links provided. You must apply through this program in order to qualify for financial assistance on these services.
