My Services
Labor and Delivery Support
I am here for you for the whole process.
Starting from date of hire:
Text or call with questions, for support, or signs of early labor.
Depending on homebirth or hospital birth, I hope to make any transition smooth and peaceful for you to be able to maintain your rhythm. You are about to meet your baby!
Prenatal Support
As a part of my packages, I offer prenatal visits to establish a comfortable relationship and open communication before the day of birth. We will go over your birth plan, pain management techniques, comfort measures, relaxation, and ways to get baby in the optimal position for birthing. It is my goal for every woman to feel heard and comfortable in this tender time. These visits are a great time to go over any questions you have pertaining to your options for interventions.
Postpartum
After baby is born, I will stay with you and offer emotional and physical support for up to 2 hours postpartum. I'm also there to help with breastfeeding if needed.
I will continue to do all that I can to make you both as comfortable and prepared as possible as you begin to acclimate to your new normal! I am beyond grateful to be able to offer you experienced and understanding care in this tender time.
