“Attending births is like growing roses. You have to marvel at the ones that just open up and bloom
at the first kiss of the sun but you
wouldn’t dream of pulling open
the petals of the tightly closed buds and forcing them to blossom
to your time line.”
-Gloria Lemay
Birth Support
Please note that I am not taking birth clients at this time
I provide perinatal support for women from pregnancy through postpartum. Providing support and information from a holistic perspective, as pregnancy and birth are very much a whole person experience.
During pregnancy I provide support, education and information for a healthy pregnancy. In our prenatal meetings we will become acquainted and explore and discuss your priorities and any fears or concerns, and plan how we all might best work together. I will support you through your birth process at your chosen place of birth. I am independent and self-employed meaning I work for you and your support will be individual for what you and your family need. I provide continued support up to 6 weeks postpartum as you and your baby get to know each other.
