Your journey begins with personalized, in-home prenatal visits–no rushed checklists or crowded waiting rooms. While most clinical tasks can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, I believe true care takes much more time. Each visit is unhurried & lasts about an hour with me being fully present & focused on you. This allows for time & space to check in on both you & your baby’s well-being while also building a trusted relationship.
Every visit we will measure your fundal height to assess your baby’s growth, palpate to check on their position as your pregnancy progresses, listen to their heartbeat with a fetal doppler or fetoscope, & monitor your vitals– all with you & your loved ones involved every step of the way. We will also draw any routine labs necessary, discuss nutrition + supplements, your physical & emotional wellness, recommendations, & anything else on your heart.

.01 Comprehensive Prenatal Care

Together, we’ll craft a birth plan that reflects your values, preferences, & dreams. We’ll discuss everything from A to Z, no detail is too big or too small. This thoughtful collaboration ensures you feel everything is covered, leaving you to focus on your big day feeling calm, confident, & respected.

.02 Personalized Birth Planning

Birth is a powerful, instinctive process; when left undisturbed, it unfolds with incredible wisdom. As your midwife, I serve as both a quiet guardian of the space & as a skilled, attentive provider. I bring the tools & equipment, experience, & discernment needed to ensure that you & your baby are safe, all while honoring your body’s rhythm & unique labor. My role is not to direct or manage your experience, but to hold space, observe quietly, & offer gentle guidance when needed or desired. I monitor for both beautiful normalcy & any deviations from it, always with your autonomy & intuition at the center. 

.03 Labor & Birth

Your angel’s arrival is met with reverence. They’re immediately met by your and daddy’s loving arms & placed skin-to-skin, ensuring a peaceful & protected transition into the world. No bright lights or vigorous rub downs. My goal is to safeguard the space while quietly monitoring you & your baby so that your focus can be on bonding & connecting.. After some time, a thorough, comprehensive newborn exam is completed by your side, as well as any optional newborn procedures you desire for your child. As you eat a nourishing meal, I ensure things are tidied up, that you + baby are stable, & that you feel confident caring for yourself & your baby before my departure. I am immediately available to you by phone should any questions or concerns arise between my departure & our next visit.

.04 A Supported, Centered Arrival

Just because the birth is over doesn’t mean my care ends. In many ways, it deepens. I am back to check in on your healing & your baby’s transition to life outside of the womb at approximately 12-24 hours, 48-72 hours postpartum, & 2-3 weeks. These visits are to support you physically, emotionally, & practically. I offer hands-on breastfeeding support, weighing of your baby, & motherly guidance & encouragement. State metabolic screening (NBS) & Critical Congenital Heart Disease Screening (CCHD) can also be completed at these visits, if desired.

.05 Postpartum Care & Breastfeeding Support

I will come to you for your 6 week wellness check in, which marks the closing of our ime together formally, but never the end of my care for you. This appointment is about more than just your physical recovery. It provides an opportunity to reflect on your birth, assess how you’re feeling emotionally, & ensure your body is healing in a way that supports your long-term wellness. We will assess your pelvic floor health, screen for any signs of prolapse, check for abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) & perform a Pap smear & HPV screening as indicated or desired. We’ll discuss readiness for return to things like intimacy & exercise, & explore birth control options that align with your lifestyle & values, including holistic & fertility awareness-based methods.. Personalized, vetted for referrals for specialized modalities will be provided based on your individualized needs & goals.
