Frequently asked questions

How does it work??

We will meet either virtually or a public location, for the initial meeting, in order to safely get to know each other and decide if we are a good match for each other to work with. If we are both comfortable we can proceed to have visits as frequently as you're comfortable, either at your home or at public locations ( I offer for moms to join me at the gym (free) to learn safe exercises that will help with labor and delivery). I can also attend OBGYN appointments leading up to the birth. When you are in labor I will meet you at the hospital to provide support throughout the labor and delivery as well as a couple of hours after to ensure your comfort.
