I provide virtual and in person continuous support from the beginning of our relationship. I attend labor from the onset and at the beginning of an induced labor. I attend cesarean deliveries as well. During postpartum, I take care of you, and I teach you how to care for your new baby. We cover as much or as little information as you see fit ranging from birth preparedness, lactation, meal prep, etc. there is no max amount of support allowed. I am here for your unique needs.
