Our Services
Roots4Change focuses on Latinx/Indigenous families and their involvement in system transformation. We are committed to sowing change in our communities, one seed at a time, and are pleased to offer the following services. R4C’s five member-owners are trained doulas and community health workers. We offer customized care to fit your birthing needs.
Doula Services
Our doulas strive to provide the highest quality personal care to the expectant mother and parent. The standard package is described here; however, each participant will be evaluated at the first home visit to determine the intensity of care for the mother / parent / partner / baby. During all visits, the R4C Doulas will ensure the creation of safe spaces that make the expectant parent feel comfortable and facilitate the development of confidence.
From helping you curate your birth plan to lactation and postpartum support, our doulas are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
We offer sliding scale-based fees and scholarships for our doula services.
Contact us to learn about service packages and scholarships.
Our Perinatal Doula Services include 3 Visits, each lasting 1.5 – 2 hours
Visit 1: Development of baseline care package to identify: support required, areas of concern (fears, past experiences), established support networks, and current coping mechanisms for stress management
Visit 2: Provide education and resources so that the expectant parent can develop a birth plan
Visit 3: Provide additional education and support needed for the expectant parent
Community Health Worker – Doulas (CHW-D) will meet participants at the laboring site upon contact from the mom, partner, or family member. If induction is preformed and active labor lasts more than 24 hours, CHW-D will be be supported by a trained colleague. Assistance with lactation will be provided within the first two hours of the birth.
Our postpartum doula services include 3 Visits, each lasting 1.5 – 2 hours.
Visit 1: Hospital discharge visit
Visit 2: Visit within two weeks after baby is home

Our scholarships are offered to people who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), in particular Latin American and Caribbean immigrants.
