Birth with Confidence, Support, and Trust
Birth with Confidence, Support, and Trust
I provide prenatal, birth, and postpartum care that is personal, relationship-based, and centered on your unique needs. My approach honors birth as a natural, physiological process while offering skilled, responsive support when it is needed.

Bodywork in Care

For newborns, gentle craniosacral releases are available at scheduld visits if desired, offering support for feeding, settling, and integration after birth.
