This is a deeper look at how I support you, from our first meeting to your first days with baby​

​

What you can expect when we work together: 

Once we decide to work together, I’m here for you—not just during the birth, but throughout the whole journey. From the very beginning, my goal is to offer steady, personalized support that meets you exactly where you are.

​

Ongoing Support
From the moment you hire me, I’m available by phone, text, or email for any emotional or informational support you need—whether it’s a quick question about gear or a deeper conversation about how you’re feeling.

​

Four Prenatal Visits

We’ll have four prenatal visits, usually in your home. These are spacious, intentional conversations where we build trust, explore your questions, and shape a plan that supports your birth and postpartum journey—on your terms.

Each visit has a different focus, but all are rooted in presence, care, and meeting you where you are.

  1. Our first meeting happens early on. This is where we begin building our connection. We talk about what’s ahead, explore your hopes, and lay the groundwork for the kind of support that feels most nourishing to you. I also share guidance on the basics—birth, postpartum recovery, baby gear, feeding plans, and anything else on your mind.

  2. The second visit dives deeper into birth preparation. We talk through the physiology of labor, coping techniques, partner support, and ways to create a calm, grounded birth environment—whether at home or in the hospital.

  3. Our third visit focuses on emotional and mental wellbeing. We explore how you're feeling about birth and parenthood, look at any fears or past experiences that may be showing up, and make space for processing and grounding.

  4. The fourth visit typically happens around 37 weeks, as you enter your due time. We review your birth preferences, talk through practical logistics and possible scenarios, and make sure your home, space, and support systems are ready. It’s also a time to check in emotionally and clarify any last questions or concerns.

These visits are more than planning sessions—they’re about creating a foundation of support that carries you through birth and into early parenthood with confidence and care.

Birth Support
Starting at 37 weeks, I’m officially on call for you. Once labor begins, we’ll be in touch throughout early labor—and when you feel ready for hands-on support, I’ll join you.

I’ll stay by your side throughout your labor and birth, offering continuous emotional and physical support. I’m there to help you feel grounded, informed, and connected throughout the process. I also offer gentle advocacy, helping ensure your preferences are heard and respected as much as possible.

​

After your baby is born, I’ll stay with you for a couple of hours to help you settle in, support early breastfeeding if needed, and make sure you’re feeling supported before I step away.

​

Postpartum Visit
Within the first week—often the day after you arrive home from the hospital, if that’s where you birthed—I’ll come for an extended postpartum visit. I’ll help you get settled, support with feeding in different positions around your home, and talk through how you’re doing—emotionally, physically, and logistically. We’ll make a review your postpartum plan to help you rest, recover, and find your footing in this new chapter.

This is care that centers presence over pressure and connection over checklists—holding space for the kind of birth that feels truly yours.
