I meet with you (and your partner, if applicable) at your home for prenatal appointments to build rapport, educate you on how to best prepare for labor, birth, and postpartum, and provide a space for you to share your needs, fears, hopes, and questions about the process. I offer continuous support during labor, birth, and the initial few hours postpartum. This includes verbal and nonverbal reminders to breathe, affirmations, comforting touch and other comfort measures, invitations to change positions, and communication support between you and care providers and/or your partner. Birth support also includes 1-2 postpartum visits to check in, share information or referrals (as needed), and process the birth experience. I support births in hospitals, birth centers, and at home.

I offer in-home postpartum support during the initial weeks and months after birth to help you navigate the significant transition of welcoming new life, whether you are parenting or not. My support includes preparing or coordinating meals and nutrition, providing information on postpartum healing, sharing newborn care tips, and connecting you with mental health professionals or other service providers as needed.

I provide compassionate loss support for individuals who have experienced any type of pregnancy loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion. This includes offering my presence in a clinic or at home, assisting with comfort measures, and helping you plan for recovery or aftercare. Additionally, I support you in processing your experience, offer referrals to further support if needed, and provide guidance on postpartum care and recovery.

I offer comprehensive, evidence-based classes for individuals or groups to prepare soon-to-be parents for the transformative experience of childbirth and parenthood. By providing knowledge, skills, and insights, I enable individuals to make informed choices regarding their birthing journey. The education sessions cover a wide range of topics, including creating a birth plan, stages of labor, comfort measures and coping techniques, medical interventions, postpartum recovery, and newborn care. These classes offer practical guidance and encouragement to expectant parents, fostering a sense of confidence and empowerment.

I offer various placenta services to support your postpartum healing journey or to create a unique keepsake for you and your baby.

• Placenta Encapsulation: This involves cleaning, steaming, dehydrating, and grinding your placenta into a powder, which is then placed into capsules. These pills are taken in the first few weeks postpartum to help balance hormones.

• Placenta Tincture: A liquid extract made from a small amount of your placenta, which is left to steep in 80-100 proof alcohol for six weeks. The tincture is stored in a 2 oz dropper bottle and is typically used after your capsules are finished, providing long-term hormonal balance.

• Placenta Art: This process involves coloring your placenta with food-grade inks and imprinting it on paper. The artwork is then framed, creating a beautiful keepsake.
