Comprehensive support.
I am honored to provide physical, emotional, and informational support to families planning to birth at home, in birth centers, and in hospitals. All of my clients receive compassionate, individualized care which includes prenatal visits, postpartum visits, and continuous labor support, plus unlimited correspondence via phone, text and email from the moment I am hired. I am on call 24 hours/day starting two weeks before the due date but will do everything I can to provide support as I normally would if labor starts before 38 weeks. I have completed the Spinning Babies® Workshop and I am trained in the use of TENS in labor. I support families and individuals of all backgrounds and identities, and I am happy to to honor the unique spiritual and cultural practices of the families I serve.
