everyone's birth journey is different. my packages are designed to support you at various stages of your journey to parenthood, and are buildable if your needs change along the way. my goal with each is for you to feel educated, supported and empowered about your choices, so you birth your way
pregnancy is an exciting time for you and your inner circle. your body is doing pretty incredible things, though you may sometimes not feel amazing! My pregnancy package is centred on birth education, birth planning, and pregnancy self-care.
includes
three two-hour sessions
1. birth education, including understanding processes occurring during each phase of birth, what options you'll be offered and what they actually mean
2. birth planning, including establising your birth preferences, including where you'd like to give birth
3. final birth preparations and late pregnancy tips
it's time! this package adds my attendance at your birth, from when you need me as labour gets going, to the arrival of your baby. i'll be there to help with labour management and to advocate for your birth preferences as required with your medical team

includes
- pregnancy package as outlined above
- on-call from 38 weeks
- birth attendance
I do not offer birth support without the pregnancy package. i welcome home-birthing mothers but do not offer birth support for mothers choosing to birth without a medical professional present
your birth journey doesn't end with the arrival of your little one. the immediate post-partum period, or fourth trimester, is one of transition and change. i firmly believe mothers deserve more support during this time than our society generally provides, and would love to help you and your family through this amazing, but sometimes challenging, transition.
includes three three-hour home visits (generally at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after birth)
- birth debriefing
- breast-feeding support
- help with your baby
- help with household tasks
- post-partum anxiety/depression warning signs and resources
