I will be on call from 37-42+ weeks of gestation and offer a visit during early labor to promote optimal fetal positioning.
During active labor, I provide physical, practical, and emotional support in the following forms:
Comfort measures
Movement and position suggestions
Words of encouragement and emotional reassurance
Guided meditations and mindfulness
Reminders to eat, drink water, and empty your bladder
Breaks for your birth partner, if you have one
Advocacy for your wants and needs
In-the-moment intervention information refreshers
Photos and video, if desired
Informed consent is very important to me. I will always ask before providing physical support and will check in often about your preferences.

Postpartum
I will stay at least two hours following the birth of your baby. During this immediate postpartum period, I can:
Advocate for your preferences regarding cord clamping, minimal disruption, newborn medications, and more
Hold space for the Golden Hour and parental bonding
Assist baby-led initiation of breast/chest/bodyfeeding, if desired
Take some first family photos
Join you in wonder and amazement as we appreciate the beauty of this new little human
Help you and your baby get comfortable and settled in for a long nap
I provide one postpartum visit of 60+ minutes to discuss your birth experience, assist with feeding and sleep, and provide suggestions for healing and newborn care. I will also be available for unlimited text and phone support throughout your postpartum period.
My primary goal is to uplift YOUR preferences, values, and visions for your birth.
