Everybody came into this world through birth and yet somehow we've bought into the misconception that birth is an emergency in need of continuous intervention and fear. Bodies were born to birth and I can help you believe in yourself, learn to trust your instincts and have the tools necessary to sustain the kind of empowered birth you deserve. We will talk about your ideal birth and potential alternatives given unplanned circumstances, comfort measures, how to ask the right questions to stay in a position of informed consent throughout your birth, and anything you feel needs addressed to feel fully supported. Each client has the option to request postpartum support care which can include such things as: help transitioning to adding this new person to the fam, light housekeeping, meal preparation, breastfeeding support, diapering, swaddling, baby wearing, time management, cleaning, community building and various aspects of parenting. If I don't know I will find out for you. A little bit about me:
I am cook from scratch, do it yourself, breastfeeding, baby wearing sort of gal. I love to learn and obviously I'm very passionate about birth. My fist birth was a high intervention hospital induction, which led me to birth at home and in birth centers with a doula in my subsequent births. I am a strong proponent of the midwifery model of care but happy to support any birth medium people choose to make their own. In my day to day life I parent a toddler, practice yoga and meditation, lead a local community garden, support recovering addicts and continue my personal education in the birth worker field.
