During your pregnancy let's stay connected. I'm available to answer any questions that you may have regarding pregnancy symptoms, provider policies, hospital policies, and research-based answers.

Hospital & Provider Policies

Understanding your provider's and hospital's rules can be frustrating and confusing. Especially for moms seeking a VBAC understanding why certain policies are in place can help you make informed decisions about your care.

Research Based Answers

Are you wondering what natural induction methods really work? Maybe you want to know the risks of having a "big baby" that your provider has hinted at. I am full of information and know how to pull amazing resources for you to help you answer your questions and decide what the best course of action is for your specific situation.

Pregnancy Symptoms

We can work together to find solutions to any discomforts that you may have during pregnancy. From back pain to acid reflux there are lots of options to help make your pregnancy a more comfortable experience.

Prenatal Visits

I provide two prenatal visits to help you feel prepared and connected for your birth experience. Read below to find out more about what they entail.

Second Prenatal

• Practice various labor positions

First Prenatal

• In-person or virtual

• Create or discuss your birth plan

Mindset is such an important part of the labor experience. Learning to listen to your body and tune out the world can greatly improve your birth experience.

Birth / Labor Support

Your birth story is unique and you will get to choose the path you are aiming towards. Whether your goal is a home birth, an induction, or a planned cesarean, having a doula can foster a more positive birth experience.

Comfort Measures

• And More

This area of support looks different for everyone. We will work together to leave you feeling confident in your birth story.

Advocacy

Postpartum Support

Part of a positive birth experience is an empowered postpartum. Learning to care for a newborn and care for yourself as a mother can be challenging and additional support can make a big difference to your overall experience.

Baby-wearing

Baby-wearing is a great way to encourage bonding, while still allowing you to have both hands free. Knowing how to wear your baby safely can give you peace of mind.

Lactation Support

If you are planning to breastfeed, I can help answer basic questions and work with you to get a good latch or the right pump settings.

Newborn Care

How do we care for the umbilical stump?

How can we reduce spit up?

Is this normal?

Having a new baby can bring up a million questions you never thought of. I would love to help answer those questions for you.
