Pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period are obviously sacred to my heart as a Midwife. I see this time in a woman’s life as a beautiful metaphor for all of the transitions we go through throughout our lifetime - that hold a tremendous potential for self-love, empowerment, growth, and transformation. Historically, this was a time when women were surrounded by the love and care and guidance of other women in their lives. A time when they were held in a safe container, nourished, honored and truly recognized for their innate connection to spirit.
I am not currently taking homebirth clients as a primary provider for prenatal/birth/postpartum care, however, I am offering comprehensive midwifery consults alongside the standard routine care you are receiving.
These are virtual or in-person appointments to support you where you are at in your journey in calling in a baby - whether this is just leaning into the idea and wanting to support your body to be in its most optimal state for conception and onward OR you are years into your journey and have tried all of the ways and are looking for a gentle way to re-connect to your body and the process.
These sessions are very individualized. An initial phone consult helps guide what support is most needed and desired. Maya Abdominal Therapy is a beautiful practice during this time and is often one of the first things we implement.
How we are cared for during this time has an impact so great that it truly affects the rest of our lives. This is a time of really profound change, a rite of passage, a shifting of roles and ways of being in our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. Its a time of joy and grief, of excitement and trepidation, of the deepest inner knowing and simultaneously the greatest surrender into the unknown. It is a time that deserves the utmost tenderness and care that holds the whole being and whole experience at its core.
A healthy pregnancy, birth and postpartum is not achieved through a routine clinical checklist alone! We do not thrive when our whole being is not tended to. My midwifery care is an offering to people who desire something more than what they are receiving, who are longing for a deeper connection to their unfolding into motherhood, and who are craving care that goes beyond the standard.
