Birth/Labor Support
I’ll be on call for you two weeks before your due date until the moment you give birth. Throughout labor, I will be by your side, dedicated to creating a soothing environment, providing emotional support, and assisting with physical comfort measures. My objective is to support you and your partner(s), friends or family members as we navigate this significant experience together.
During active labor, I will provide physical, practical, and emotional support in the following forms: Comfort measures • Movement and position suggestions • Words of encouragement and emotional reassurance • Guided meditations and mindfulness • Reminders to eat, drink water, and empty your bladder • Advocacy for your wants and needs • and more!
Informed consent is very important to me. I will always ask before providing physical support and will check in often about your preferences.
