Childbirth Education
I believe that birth is a beautiful and spiritual initiation as well as being a completely normal physiological process of the body. I can customize a class or series based on your interest in one or the other or both.
Includes:
Series of 3-hour sessions
Held virtual + In-person
Options include: mindful birthing, birth plans, stages and phases of labor, comfort measures, postpartum preparation
Birthkeeping
As a birthkeeper (commonly known as a doula) I can help you discover your strength, work through your fears, educate you on your choices, and make sure your physical needs are met while supporting you to have the birth you envision. Birth keeping is offered virtually + in-person.
Includes:
Unlimited text/email support
Access to a client only list of referrals, coupons, research, classes etc
Two prenatal visits (in person or video)
On call for your birth
Support during your birth (in person or video)
Assistance with body or bottlefeeding baby immediately postpartum (in person or video)
One postpartum visit (in person or video)
Postpartum Care
The first 40 days, often referred to as the Fourth Trimester, should be a time of bonding, quiet, and rest. It is unnatural to be left alone after the enormous physical, emotional and mental marathon of birth to not only heal yourself but tend to a brand new human. Let me take care of you, so you can take care of your baby.
Includes:
Unlimited text/email support
4-6 hour visit
Food, teas, tinctures, baths, steams, rubs to nourish and help you heal
Light tidying up
Feeding (breast/chest/donor milk/formula) assistance
Birth processing
Offered virtually + in-person

1-2 hours of guided rituals, blessings, healing affirmations and meditations
All supplies

Processing Sessions
Trying to get pregnant, losing a baby, terminating a pregnancy, getting pregnant after a loss, giving birth, becoming a parent (again)… it’s A LOT. Sometimes it’s traumatic, sometimes it’s ecstatic, and often it’s in-between. Most people want/need to talk about this journey.

Hour long sessions

We can talk about whatever is on your mind
Available virtual + in-person

NICU Support
It can be very hard to navigate early parenthood when a baby is in the NICU for preterm birth or illness. No one plans for this and when it is thrust upon us, we do not always know where to turn for support or what we may even really need. I’ve been through it and I am here.

Navigating hospital policies, language and procedures
Postpartum care for you
Guidance on how to care for a NICU baby
