It is my desire to support a woman and her partner as they search for the necessary tools to obtain a well-supported birth and postpartum period. I understand that birth and newborn care is the interplay of many factors and I want to support a woman in her journey of discovering what those are.
Birth is one of the most transformative experiences you and your partner will experience in your lifetime. Moving through the transition from pregnancy to parenthood requires stamina, strength and plenty of support. I want to assist you and your partner as you make this passage. I want to provide relief to your primary support person and, if needed, suggest alternative positions and comfort measures while you concentrate on moving through each contraction. I want to support you as you develop instinctual knowledge of your ability to give birth, modern knowledge of the physical mechanics of birth as well as the medical technology available and self-knowledge of your inner feeling landscape that will color your reaction to the intensity of labor, birth and caring for your new infant. I want to support this journey knowing your wishes and what you need to powerfully move through the birth and care of your precious child.
Birth intrigues me…it is a mysterious, powerful entrance of a brand new being into our world. It is the beginning of nurturing the growth of brand new life. The birth of our daughter lives indelibly in my memory. What I didn’t know was that this powerful event would prompt me to nurture my own life passions. It created big changes in my life, not only as a parent, but moved me to pursue childbirth education and doula work. I have taught childbirth, infant care and breastfeeding classes and have attended over 100 births. I also provide postpartum support during the the first 8 weeks.
It would be my honor to help you and your family during this transformative time.
