Consultation: a (free) 30-minute virtual or in-person consultation to get to know each other and see if we are a good fit. Your comfort during pregnancy and labor are of the utmost importance to me.

Once we establish an agreement to work together, we will move forward and plan our next visit.

Prenatal Visits: Before the baby arrives, we will spend time together building a relationship. (While called “prenatals,” these are different from appointments with your OBGYN or Midwife). I will learn about you, your family, your birth preferences, and how I can make your pregnancy & birth as smooth and empowering as possible. I come prepared with information and physical exercises to share with you (think of these as coffee dates with a side of education). Most of all, I will create an emotionally safe space for you to ask questions, share what’s on your heart, and feel heard and loved.

I offer 2 prenatal visits (typically spaced throughout the third trimester) that last 90 minutes each. We’ll work together to choose the days, times, and location that work best.

If you have a partner and they can make it, bring them! My goal is to build an authentic relationship that allows us to feel comfortable and safe together prior to delivery.

Here's an outline of some of the topics we'll cover during our prenatal visits:

Visit 1

• Check in

• Birth goals and vision

• How to advocate for yourself and your baby during appointments

• Identify your personal labor preferences

• Practice comfort measures

• Optimal fetal positioning

• Packing for the hospital or birth center, or preparing your home for a home birth

​Visit 2

• Check in

• Childbirth education, including physiological changes and stages of labor

• Begin to write down birth preferences

• What is "normal" (spoiler: everyone’s different!)

• Provide insight for partners and support persons

• Common interventions and induction methods

• Lactation

• Newborn expectations

• Postpartum healing

• Postpartum nutrition

• Postpartum planning

Although I have prepared a general outline for our visits, I'm here for you and I'm flexible. We can talk about whatever you'd like during our prenatals. While information can be helpful, sometimes clients prefer to treat this as a time to explore emotions, questions, and feelings!

After our prenatal visits conclude, I will be on call for your labor. This means that no matter what time of day you begin labor, I will be there to answer questions and support you. Generally, I join my clients when they are in active labor.

I will be on call for you starting at your 37th week of pregnancy until the baby is born.

I offer continuous support from the start to the end of labor. In addition to emotional support for you and your partner (if applicable), I will guide you into different laboring positions to help with pain, advocate for you and make sure you have the information you need, and stay with you up to 2 hours after the baby arrives.

Installments: $400 deposit, followed by four payments of $350 (one each month up until 36 weeks).

I believe that every birthing person and family needs support and that finances should not be a barrier to receiving high-quality care. Sliding scale pricing and payment plans are available as needed. Please inquire or send me a message with your budget and we’ll see what we can make happen!
