Prenatal Care and Education

I offer non-medical comfort measures throughout both the labor and postpartum phases. These may encompass:

Relaxation techniques, which include methods like massage, positioning, and controlled breathing.
Emotional support and reassurance, not only for you but also for your partner or other loved ones.
The creation of a comprehensive birth plan that clearly outlines your preferences and boundaries concerning medical interventions and medications during labor.
The provision of evidence-based education covering topics related to pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
Assistance with breastfeeding, postpartum care, and emotional support during the early days of newborn care.

Working collaboratively with your healthcare provider/midwife and partner, we strive for the seamless implementation of your birth plan and aim to make the transition into motherhood as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Labor and Delivery

Whether you have chosen to have a hospital delivery, water birth, home birth, or a birthing center experience I collaborate with your physician or midwife and your partner to ensure the smooth execution of your birth plan. I am a source of support, providing guidance to your partner on pain management techniques, emotional support, and breathing practices. Additionally, I am available to assist both you and your partner by addressing any questions you may have for your healthcare provider.

Postpartum Assistance

I collaborate closely with you and your partner to align with your birth plan, guaranteeing that the first moments of your newborn's life offer the cherished "golden hour experience" you've always envisioned. During this time, I will assist with the initial breastfeeding and stay with your family for at least an hour after the delivery to cater to any requirements or concerns you may have.

To ensure your well-being and the healthy development of your newborn, I will arrange two postpartum home visits, one at the two-week mark and another at four weeks after delivery. These visits are designed to ensure that everything is progressing smoothly and that you have the support you need during this crucial period.
