I wrapped up my 2024 births yesterday with a fast and beautiful homebirth that started by the tree and ended with snow falling outside, pretty magical. ❄️

The last of (4!) clients that gave birth this week. I’m honored to do this work but also thankful to be “off call” for the next few days! 🥂 Happy Holidays!

Pregnant and have questions about which type of exercise is OK to continue? How to relax your pelvic floor during pushing? What to expect at your local hospital when you arrive and other “inside tips“ from a doula with over 10 years experience? Join me and this weekend!

Shoutout to everyone who rocked their Summer pregnancy but are now realizing they have an actually baby coming out of them this Winter 😳

Join me this Fall to get confident on all the unknowns. Leave class with concrete ways to navigate a “typical birth”; like when you should get to the hospital (it’s different for everyone), how to time an epidural and what to do if it doesn’t work well 🫣

And also learn how to navigate unexpected turns, and what specific questions to ask to make sure any interventions are the right choice for you ❤️

I’m not your “typical doula” and I don’t want to teach a “typical class”. I believe homebirths are amazing, but they don’t work for everyone or make everyone feel safe.

My clients are often:

-Over 35
-Used IVF to get pregnant
-Want a (well timed) epidural
-Are at a higher risk for (necessary) intervention
-Just feel safer in a hospital

✨And that is OK!

Let’s have a thoughtful discussion on what feels right FOR YOU. This isn’t a workshop on how to decline everything at the hospital, it’s a workshop on getting the calm, confident and collaborative birth that feels right. No matter what that looks like ❤️

Next workshop June 17th!

So excited to announce some NEW ADDITIONS to our new mom support groups! This month we are adding “Rivertown Mamas Irvington” AND a breastfeeding support circle. Held on alternating Wednesdays at a private home and led by post partum doula and lactation counselor Julia Fuller-Kling. Rivertown Mamas will be returning monthly, held by Hilary Baxendale at a new location in Dobbs Ferry by early June. All groups will be added to our website events calendar. Link in bio!
