Birth is a very empowering life changing event! It's an event that should be protected, honored, and cherished. I encourage and support women wanting natural childbirth. But I am comfortable working with all mothers-to-be and their ideal birth plan, whether it is non-medicated or medicated, VBACs or C-sections. I do not take the place of your partner; rather, I assist both of you through the most precious and intimate moment of your lifetime. I will help educate you so that you understand the risks and benefits of each intervention and you can choose the options that fit into your ideal birth plan.
My services include:
· A free consultation visit
· 1-2 prenatal appointments
· Phone and/or email contact throughout pregnancy
· Labor support
· Immediate postpartum support
· Assistance with breastfeeding
· Pictures of your labor and bonding, if desired
· 1-2 postpartum visit
Because I tailor my support to fit each family and their needs, these services may change from client to client. I look forward to supporting and nurturing women and their families in the miracle of childbirth, ensuring positive feelings and blissful memories of their birth experience.
I also offer postpartum doula services. I meet with my postpartum clients beforehand to help determine how I can best support them and meet their family’s needs
