Services
Continuous Labor Support
At your time of labor I will join you whenever you want support. I will affirm you and encourage you and be a continuous thread of knowledgeable support throughout your labor.
Comfort Measures
I will provide soothing touch and massage and other tools based on your needs moment to moment to help your mind stay focused and your body relaxed.
Advocacy
I will advocate for you during your birth. In the medical environment, I can be a bridge for better understanding and integration. I will keep you informed and help build a positive spirit amongst your birthing team.
Trouble Shooting Delays
If labor stalls I can assist with positional changes to help open space in your body and encourage the baby in navigating the pelvis.
Calming Coregulation
I will be a calm, grounded and attuned presence helping you to feel safe, seen and soothed. I will be steady ground for your nervous system to regulate with and to relax into your intuitive labor flow.
Partner Support
During labor I will support your partner so they may be as present for you as possible. I will prioritize your connection and work to foster it.
The Unexpected
When labor takes twists and turns I can help you weigh the factors, ask the right questions and take the next step forward with confidence and connection.
The Golden Hour
I will help protect those first precious moments of bonding with your baby and assist with baby’s first latch.
