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.

you get some much needed rest. This is a temporary services which usually
only lasts about 2 weeks.

Massage, I offer a safe prenatal/postpartum massage
which releases tension in the neck, back, legs, feet, face & hands. This

the normal aches and pains associated with pregnancy.
