Can be in person or virtual support, or a combination of both! From the time you sign my service agreement and your deposit is paid, you are my client! You have unlimited support via phone, text, email, or video chat up through your birthing time. One to two prenatal visits are included to discuss your birth preferences and identify how I can best support your during your birthing time. I am on call for your birth beginning at 39 weeks through 42 weeks. I will be present from the time you want support in your birthing experience and throughout your labor and delivery. After your little one’s arrival, I will stay for 1-2 hours to provide support and maybe take a few pictures of you and your new family. One to two postpartum visits are provided to process your birth and offer informal support regarding breastfeeding and newborn care.

Lamaze is a comprehensive childbirth education class that is based upon the 6 Healthy Birth Practices are known to improve birth outcomes for families: 1. Let labor begin on its own. 2. Walk, move around and change positions throughout labor. 3. Bring a loved one, friend or doula for continuous support. 4. Avoid interventions that are not medically necessary. 5. Avoid giving birth on your back and follow your body's urges to push. 6. Keep mother and baby together — it's best for mother, baby and breastfeeding. Class will be in person, provided in a group format (limited size). Class will be relaxed and open for lots of discussion and questions. I want you to feel confident going into your birthing journey!

We can talk birth planning, cloth diapering, VBAC’s, past births, whatever you would like to learn more about. I can provide you with individualized feedback on your topic of choice and even provide handouts or links for further understanding. Our topic discussion can happen in person or virtually.
