About me

I have several birth and postpartum plans, and prices vary between them. I offer scholarship programs and sliding fees for families in need. I provide educational, physical and emotional support, helping to empower laboring people to advocate for themselves and have the birth they desire. It’s totally your birth, totally your choice! Consultations are free and I am ready to meet and support you however you need! Send me an email and ask any question, I’m here for you.
