I provide continuous labor support. Including emotional, physical, educational, & advocacy support so you feel confident in your birth.
Emotional Support
Pregnancy, birth, & postpartum are full of emotions. I offer encouragement when there is self-doubt, validation so you feel heard, & processing of past/ current trauma so you can heal.

Helping to get baby into an optimal position is something I assist with by utilizing various position changes. This can be done with or without an epidural.

I can assist with debriefing your birth experience, making sure you are taking care of your needs, as well as education on infant care & sleep.

Prepping for the 4th trimester is essential. I help create a plan for recovery, meals, visitors, & building community support. I help with setting up nursing/ pumping & diaper carts.

I offer basic lactation & bottle feeding support. If needed, I provide referrals for additional support. I also can provide information on starting solids.
Resources
Pregnancy, postpartum, & parenting can be overwhelming. It's hard to know who to go to & where to get good information, which is why I have tons of resources available.
Partner Support
Birth is a shared experience for you & your partner. I do not replace them but provide guidance on how to support you. I remind them to take care of their needs to ensure they are fully present in the moment.
