DUE NORTH SUPPORT SERVICES
Due North Support Services serves people and families on and throughout the ancestral and unceded Dena'inaq ełnen'aq, Dena’ina lands. We recognize and express gratitude for the traditional territories that have been stewarded by Alaska’s indigenous people since time immemorial.
Inside each of us, there is a compass guided by the innate truth that we know what is best for ourselves, our families, and our futures.
Due North Support Services’ mission is to help people find and follow their chosen paths through emotional, physical, and continuous support for a full spectrum of reproductive health care options across a range of experiences from periods to parenthood.
We offer doula care, guidance sessions, support services, classes, and workshops centered around reproductive empowerment, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early parenthood, as well as support relating to intentional or unintentional pregnancy release and loss in and around Dgheyey Kaq', Dena'inaq ełnen'aq' qilan (Anchorage, Alaska)
Our website is currently in transition, evolving to better serve our community. While we make these changes, our dedicated one-on-one doula support remains available.
Compassionate Doula Care, Centered on You
Our small, experienced team of dedicated doulas is available for hire, offering all-inclusive, one-on-one care to support families during their birth and postpartum journey. By choosing to hire a doula from Due North Support Services, you receive compassionate, personalized care while directly contributing to our Community-Supported Doula Care Program, which provides no-cost services to families facing financial barriers.
Our comprehensive package ensures that every family feels seen, heard, and empowered during this transformative time—extending well beyond birth and into the critical postpartum period.
What’s Included:
1. Prenatal Visits:
• Tailored sessions to help you prepare for labor, create a birth plan, and explore comfort measures that suit your needs.
2. Labor and Birth Support:
• Continuous, one-on-one care during labor, including physical techniques for comfort, emotional reassurance, and advocacy to honor your birth preferences.
3. Extended Postpartum Support:
We know the early postpartum period can be both beautiful and overwhelming. That’s why our all-inclusive care extends six weeks after your baby is born. During this time, your doula remains on-call, offering peace of mind and in-home postpartum support at no additional cost.
• Guidance and support in the weeks after birth, including newborn care tips, feeding assistance, and resources to help you adjust to life with your baby.
• Emotional reassurance and practical help during this vital recovery and bonding period.
4. Caring Communication:
• Ongoing access to your doula via text, phone, or email to answer questions, offer advice, and provide encouragement throughout your journey.
5. Whole-Family Support:
• Doulas provide care that extends beyond the birthing person, offering reassurance, guidance, and practical support to partners, siblings, and other family members to create a cohesive and nurturing environment for everyone.
