Through our time together, I hope to foster your confidence - and your partner’s - so that you can think critically about your choices throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. It is my hope that you feel like you are the one in the driver’s seat. This is your body, your baby, and your birth - no one else’s.

It is not my place to change your birth preferences. That being said, I value honesty. If I see that your birth values don’t align with the provider and birth place you’ve chosen, I will invite a conversation about that. I will encourage you to consult your intuition and will provide evidence-based research if you want more information before making a decision. 

The childbearing continuum - pregnancy, birth, and postpartum - is a rite of passage, no matter how it unfolds or what the outcome is. I strive to honor that journey and transformation. When you reflect on your experience in the weeks and years that follow, I hope you smile fondly.
