My Services

Prenatal Appointments

During the prenatal appointments, I will help you create a birth plan you feel confident in. We will discuss how you envision your birth experience, what type of environment you prefer, who might be there, and how you imagine me supporting you (and your partner). I will also cover basic childbirth education, address any questions or concerns, and instruct you (and your partner) in early labor coping techniques and relaxation exercises.

Labor & Birth

My goal is to support you during the most challenging moments of labor. Typically this means meeting you at your birthing location when active labor is in full swing. Sometimes, it means coming to your house to  remind you (and your partner) of early laboring techniques. Other times it means staying for a while until it’s time to transfer to the birthing location. I am here for you (and your partner) and that means tailoring my availability to meet your needs. Once your baby is born, I will stay with you for 1-2 hours of postpartum support.

Postpartum Support

During our postpartum visit (typically within one week of birth) we will go over the details of the labor and birth together, address any lingering questions, and discuss your journey into motherhood. As a Certified Lactation Educator and Counselor, I can also provide newborn and breastfeeding support during this meeting.
