What support looks like.

I love to help provide information and referrals for the smoothest, most peaceful pregnancy possible. We will work together to create a birth plan, and I’ll help you process through questions or concerns regarding the upcoming labor, birth, and postpartum. I will work with you during your pregnancy to develop trust in your own body and intuition, moving from fear to peace!

Once labor begins I will join you when you need me. I will work with you and your partner to provide comfort, encourage progress, and give you the tools you need to make informed, confident decisions. The role of the partner is integral to the process of labor - someone who knows you and loves you deeply, and whose love can help raise those oxytocin levels to encourage a peaceful, gentle birth! I help the birth partner move into the role they are most comfortable with to help facilitate that connection and support, both emotional and physical. 

Throughout labor, I will continually assess the progress by how labor sounds, looks, and feels, and will make recommendations on the positions needed based on what the labor patterns are saying. I'll work to anticipate the next steps to help keep labor moving forward naturally. I'll support your decisions, and encouraging you to trust your instincts and your body. I'll do everything I can to facilitate peace and help create a safe space for you to bring your baby into the world. 

There's a beautiful balance between finding comfort during labor and inviting progress.  My goal is to help you find that balance - moving through each moment without fear. 

I approach my work prayerfully, trusting God's wisdom, goodness, and accessibility in every situation, no matter the question. Every client I take is prayed for, and every labor is prayed through. Perhaps that's a bit unconventional, but it's part of what I bring to each birth.
