Birth Support
Provides birthing families with, informational, physical, and emotional support before, during and after your birth. Allowing families to feel supported, informed as they navigate the birth experience.
Whether you're planning a vaginal or cesarean birth, the Essential Birth Support Package is perfect for families looking for support before, during, and after birth. Together we'll explore the various aspects of birth and the immediate postpartum period as they apply to your birthing goals. Please note that my services are not a substitute for a Child Birth Education (CBE) class. It is recommended that families, especially those on their first birthing journey, experience a CBE series. This us allows us to collaborate powerfully as we navigate your birthing preparations and ultimately your overall experience.
