Individualized Care
Each family is different and I believe care should reflect that. I offer complementary consultations to begin the discussion of how I can help serve your family. From there, rest assured that we can build a plan that works for you. Below are some examples of services I offer.
Pregnancy & Birth Preparation
So you're having a baby! I'm here as a sounding board as you work through these complicated & beautiful months. This care includes:
-Free 30 min consultation
-Early prenatal visit(s) to discuss choosing a provider, adjunctive therapies during pregnancy, and to answer questions.
-Two-three meetings at or after 30 weeks to discuss birth preferences, coping strategies, relaxation techniques, & positioning to equip you and your support people with tools needed during labor and think forward toward postpartum.
-On call text support at/after 34 weeks.
*Please note: I am not booking in-person labor
outside of homebirth clients at this time.
Post-Partum
Ah, my favorite. Postpartum is so sweet in its intense complexities, huge emotional shifts, and sweet newborn scrunches. My role here is to ease the adjustment to parenthood through hands-on support. Essentially, I try to make life run a bit smoother.
-Free 30 min consultation
-One or two meetings (virtual or in-person) to get to know one another and discuss preferences, hopes, and wishes for postpartum (including feeding, sleeping, visitors, etc.)
-A visit to your home pre-birth for me to tidy and organize in preparation for baby (can include sibling or pet care during your stay at a hospital or birth center if applicable)
-Postpartum Care Packages (12 hours, 18 hours, 24 hours) which include: feeding & sleep support, newborn care assistance, light housework, and meal prep.
-Option for overnight care
-Ongoing text support
Additional Services

Whether your family has the gametes to make a baby with minimal intervention, you require reproductive technology, or are looking into options of surrogacy, I can help demystify this first stage of family creation.
Inducing Lactation
I feel passionately about providing parents the opportunity to feed their children with their bodies, whether those bodies gestated a pregnancy or not! Reach out to learn more.
