What I provide:
Compassionate Care: I put my heart and soul into caring for you and your family. I become an extension of your inner circle, to help support, educate and care for you: mind, body, and soul, as you bring new life into the world.
Continuous Labor Support: Physical, emotional, and informational support from the time you reach active labor until after the birth of your baby.
Comfort Measures: Assistance with various comfort techniques, such as breathing exercises, positioning, massage, and the use of birth and peanut balls.
Advocacy: Encouragement to help you to advocate for yourself and your birth preferences to the medical staff and help you navigate decisions during labor.
Partner Support: Guidance for your partner to help them support you effectively during labor.
Cheerleader: Whether you are someone who prefers nice calm softly spoken affirmations as you conquer each contraction, someone who prefers complete silence as you focus through each surge, a “ya-hoo” after each peak or shouting a string of four letter words after each push: I will be there as your personal cheerleader to fully support whatever works best for you!
