Continuous, personal support from the moment you hire me through labor, birth, and your entire first year as a parent. From navigating tough first trimester symptoms to finding your ideal OB or midwife to knowing when it’s time to go to the hospital, I'm here to help you feel ready and excited to meet your baby. Whenever you find me, that’s the right time to start. At our in-person prenatal visit in your 35th week of pregnancy, I will come to your home where we will create your birth plan together, discuss questions to ask your provider, and walk through the signs and stages of labor along with the comfort and relaxation techniques that suit you best. When you are in labor, I stay the whole way through, offering physical comfort, calming and breathing techniques, and grounding emotional support. I also act as a bridge between you and your medical team, helping you to ask questions and understand your options and keep your preferences front and center, so every decision stays truly yours. After your baby arrives, I help you get feeding started and stay close through your recovery.

Includes:

• On-call from the day we start working together.

• Unlimited text, call, and video support throughout your pregnancy and your first year postpartum.

• One in-home prenatal visit (around 35-36 weeks).

• Continuous labor and birth support at your home and hospital.

• Informed advocacy with your care team.

• Immediate help getting breast/chestfeeding off to a good start.

• One in-home postpartum follow-up visit: feeding check-in, newborn care, calming techniques, and babywearing.

• My private, pre-recorded childbirth education and lactation video library.

• Hypnobirthing and Hypnobabies support, if desired.

• Community referrals whenever you need them.

Practical, loving help in those first tender weeks and months, a stretch of time our culture tends to overlook right when families need the most reinforcement. Every family's needs look different, so my first job is always figuring out what yours are, then building a realistic plan around them. A typical session can include support and education across:

• Feeding, whether you're breastfeeding, chestfeeding, pumping, bottle-feeding, or some mix of it all

• Newborn care guidance: soothing, infant massage techniques, bathing, diapering, babywearing, and learning to read your baby's cues

• Loving care for your own recovery and healing, body and heart, after a vaginal or cesarean birth

• A skilled extra pair of hands so you can nap, shower, or simply breathe while your baby is cared for

• Light tidying, laundry, and meal and snack prep to keep the household afloat

• Emotional support and a steady, judgment-free presence for both parents

• Gentle guidance on rest, sleep rhythms, and finding your footing as a family

• Referrals to trusted outside providers if needed

Available as four-session and eight-session packages. Each session: three hours.

You bring every question you have (nothing is too small, too weird, or too TMI), and I walk you through what really happens before, during, and after labor in plain, honest language. By the end, you will understand what your body is doing, know the options in front of you, and feel genuinely ready to trust yourself and make the calls that are right for you and your family. Private, one-on-one learning built around your questions, your birth plan, and your schedule. Three private sessions, 2-hours each. Live-virtual and prerecorded options available. These same classes are also included, at no extra cost, in my Birth Doula Support package. (pre-recorded) This class covers, but isn't limited to:

• The stages and phases of labor, and how to recognize when labor is starting

• Laboring at home: tracking contractions and knowing when to head to your birth place

• Comfort measures: breathing, movement, massage, and labor positions
