Virtual Prenatal Meetings.

We’ll practice labor coping techniques (positioning, movements, massage, acupressure, and more), discuss what to expect in labor and birth, go over your birth goals & wishes, discuss your priorities, create a birth plan if desired, talk through any fears or concerns, and determine how I’ll best serve you at your birthing time. If you have someone that will be physically present with you at your birth, I will share with them ways to support you.

Continuous Virtual Labor and Birth Support.

I will be available to you for the entirety of your labor and birth via text, phone and/or video chat, beginning whenever you wish to have me virtually present with you. This looks different for each person. Some just text questions or concerns, others call and we talk through their options. When contractions get intense I help guide through each contractions showing how to breathe and relax through them. Sometimes we jump on a facetime call so we can see each other. It works beautifully!

Virtual Postpartum Visits or Calls.

After birth, we’ll meet either virtually or on the phone to review your labor and birth experience. I will answer any questions, provide resources for postpartum support if needed, and ensure you’re adjusting well to new parenthood. I will also be checking in with you for 2 weeks postpartum. During this time I am available to you for any questions, concerns or if you just need to talk. Reach out to me at any time!

I'm looking forward to chatting with you!
