For centuries, women gave birth with a “circle of support” around them. Mothers, aunts, friends and those with childbirth experience were there to guide and nurture us as we welcomed a new life into the world. Too often these days, we lack this much-needed support. I aim to fill that gap, helping you feel confident and safe to give birth the way you desire to. 

​

My services include:

• Free initial consultation: Virtual or in-person meet and greet to determine if you would like me to be a part of your birth team.

• One prenatal visit: In-person visit for birth planning.

• Labor and delivery: Continuous physical and emotional support for you and your partner. I will be on-call from week 38 of your pregnancy onwards. I will join you early in labor at home, accompany you to the hospital/birthing center and remain with you until after your baby is born. I will help you with relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, massage, comfort measures including use of a TENS machine if desired, and optimal positions for labor to progress. I will provide breaks for your partner and help you navigate decisions based on your birth preferences.

• One postnatal visit: In-person visit to check-in, debrief and set-up any ongoing support as needed.

• Available any time throughout pregnancy and in the early post-partum period via email and text to answer questions and provide support as needed.
