Practice overview
With a background in education and childcare, I bring with me a unique understanding for supporting transitional times for families and my focus is on your entire family unit as it grows and shifts. I believe in evidence based, trauma-informed care that centers your body autonomy, prioritizes your needs, and celebrates your existence. Drawing from my background in dance and massage therapy, I love combining therapeutic movement and bodywork to help you harness your strength and feel rooted through change. I’m here for you as a source of loving care, to help you make informed decisions, and to make sure you and your baby are fully supported and nourished throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Prenatally, my clients receive 2 prenatal sessions which include childbirth education, nutrition consulting & self care techniques as well as preparation for labor (including birth plan guidance, comfort measures, optimal labor positions, partner/support person guidance and coaching). We also cover postpartum planning and preparation prenatally. One prenatal will include a private yoga and guided relaxation session and one massage. I offer phone, text & email support starting the moment you hire me. I offer on-call support starting at 38 weeks and 24/7 continuous labor and birth support and immediate postpartum care at your birthing location. I include 1-2 postpartum home visits in my practice. This may include newborn care, new parent care, healing and recovery, sibling care, lactation support, light housekeeping and meal preparation. I offer hourly postpartum doula support separately as well, which focuses on taking care of you so you can take care of your baby.
As your doula, I offer physical and emotional support, I help build your confidence, and I assist you in finding reassurance and joy in your prenatal, birth and postpartum experience. I’m here to prepare your body and mind for an empowered birth experience that lets you feel safe, trusting, and in control, every step of the way and sets you up for sustainability long into parenthood.
