A Proud Participant of Operation Special Delivery

My services,   include at least one prenatal visit. I prefer to make several prenatal visits if time allows so that I can get to know you and you feel comfortable having the time to ask questions.

I also like to attend one of the last prenatal appointments with you and your health care provider. It gives me the opportunity to meet him/her face to face prior to the birth and to see how things are progressing with you physically. I leave this decision up to your comfort.

    In labor, I prefer that you call me when you think you are in labor, even if you do not yet need me. I can answer questions and make suggestions over the phone. We will decide at this time whether I should come to your home/hospital right then or wait for further change.

    After birth, I usually remain with you for one to two hours, unless you are comfortable and your family is ready for private time together. I can also assist you with breastfeeding, if necessary. I am available for phone contact to answer any questions you may have. I would like to meet one last time within one week following your birth to see how you are doing, to review the birth, to admire your baby, and to get feedback from you about my role.

    Massage, I offer a safe prenatal/postpartum massage which releases tension in the neck, back, legs, feet, face & hands. This is very relaxing for the pregnant mom or even after birth to help reduce the normal aches and pains associated with pregnancy.
