We all need support.

  • Birth Doula

    As a birth doula my focus is individualized care. Three 2-hour prenatal sessions allow us to work out specific needs. The foundation of my work as a doula is physiologic birth. Trained in Spinning Babies, I work with all birth philosophies. Learn more about packages and pricing here.

  • Lactation

    As a certified lactation counselor with over 10 years of experience I educate, support and refer on when needed. Feeding my own babies was one of the most difficult and eventually rewarding experiences thus far. I get it.

  • Childbirth Education

    Navigating Your Birth is a 14-hour comprehensive childbirth education course. In general we meet 2 Friday evenings and 2 Saturdays. It is hands-on, fun and casual. Check out BirthWork Designs for curriculum information and click on the Events button for session dates and details. To register please submit a form found under the Contact Us button.

  • Postpartum Care 'Aunt J'

    Receive postpartum support, in your home, for days, weeks or months after you bring baby home. Postpartum care ranges in service, but think ‘extra set of hands’. Imagine having a caring, experienced Auntie in your home on a regular basis to help you and your family adjust to the new baby.
