Prenatal Meetings

If you have chosen to include childbirth education, we will go over the course material you have covered and discuss your questions. The childbirth education class is robust!

If your package includes Body Ready Method sessions, we will set up a meeting to discover your alignment and movement patterns. You will receive BRM tools/exercises that are unique to you. Your body, your lifestyle, and your birth history in hopes of prepping your body for a better birth experience. Routine pregnancy exercises are great, but why not personalize it to your needs?

Labor and Birth Support

I usually support you via phone until labor intensifies and/or you decide to have me join you. I love to meet you at your home, but I can meet you at the hospital/birth center as well. Your partner and I work together to protect and preserve your birth environment. We work together to provide as much comfort and support possible through physical touch, encouraging words, optimal positioning, body balancing, nutrition and hydration. I can be super involved or simply hold space for your journey depending on your preference. I promise to amplify your voice and wishes. I will remain with you post birth for up to two hours to make sure your new family is stable and well.
