Birth Support
A woman, as long as she lives, will remember how she was made to feel at her birth.
-Anna Verwaal
When it comes to birth, it is crucial for you take part in the decision-making process and feel respected during this life-changing experience.
While no one intends to start this new chapter of their life traumatized, it's estimated 25-34% of women view aspects of their childbirth as traumatic, and approximately 1/3 of these women go on to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The ongoing effects of this trauma can last well beyond the immediate postpartum period. This staggering statistic only emphasizes the importance that every birthing person receives trauma-informed birth support.
Although I have worked as a labor and delivery nurse for 7 years, as your birth coach, I DO NOT perform clinical tasks (blood pressures, temperatures, fetal heart tones, vaginal examinations, etc.) but rather complement your birth team with unparalleled emotional, physical, and spiritual support.
I have served families in . . .
low-risk pregnancies
high-risk pregnancies
low intervention births
high intervention births
"natural" or unmedicated births
medicated births
vaginal births
scheduled cesareans
unplanned cesareans
emergency cesareans
VBACs or vaginal births after cesarean
nursery stays
NICU stays
stillbirths and loss
With my steadfast and soulful presence, I make sure both you and your partner's needs are met, while anchoring any anxiousness that might pull you from your birthing body. You will feel held in a safe and supportive space, allowing you to let go and surrender to the magic at hand.
Alongside emotional support, I have additional training and experience in . . .
