Birth Support Services
No matter where you are choosing to have your baby or how you decide to give birth, I will be there to help you prepare for the birth that you want. During your birth I will be there to support your physical and emotional needs throughout. By protecting your birth environment, I will help to ensure you have the best experience you can. My support packages are tailored to your needs. Every person, every baby and every birth is different. What is detailed in my packages below is the foundation of the support I provide and I will work with you for any other care that you need.
