To understand how care with me unfolds first I must share “My Why”

I have supported women in many different aspects

In circle,In Birth,In loss, In breath

My why in all the ways was to support women on a deeper level

To hold space as life unfolds and to deeply nourish women

Care with me contains all of the clinical options,yes.

but it also contains space for you share your fears, your joys, life’s big moments and little ones

A space for when you walk into my clinic door (or your door if I’m coming to you) you feel safe, you feel heard and you feel nourished

How does my care differ than most… let’s talk about it

A typical prenatal

90 minute appointments that contain

Check in to See how you are feeling

Fetal heart tones

Fundal measurement

Vitals

Labs if need be

After all of the clinical topics have been completed it’s time for you to relax and feel nourished

Herbal foot soak/foot massage/lavender eye pillow and soft music

Warm cup of nourishing tea or bone broth hot chocolate

With the world feeling chaotic and busy I want you to know that at your appointments you will have timE for yourself and space to be nourished
