Services Overview

Prenatal

I offer a continuous and growing relationship prenatally.

I am in contact through your pregnancy, and then we meet for an in-depth, full prenatal meeting near 32-37 weeks. This time together will cover your questions, stages of labor review, and important details

I provide handouts and “homework” for relaxation and positioning suggestions. I introduce you to a contraction app and start up a 3-way chat.

During Labor

I often provide early labor support, offering reminders and suggestions via phone or text. When active labor begins, we find the right time for me to arrive. I offer continual, comforting techniques for labor and birth, working to maintain a peaceful birth environment. This may include massage, essential oils, heat packs, candles, music, honey sticks, and Spinning Babies movement. Continual support is provided until after baby is born, ensuring immediate postpartum care and help with baby’s first feeding. If able, I take photos and notes on your labor timeline.

Postnatal

We will talk or meet postpartum to process the birth together, discuss newborn care, address any newborn fedding issues, and I can provide additional postpartum resources, if needed. Adjusting and transitioning at home with a newborn is an important time.

Fees

Your investment is $1,800. Payment schedule: $900 is paid as a deposit upon agreement. The remaining $900 is due by 36 weeks and this can be paid in multiple payments. Additional fees may be necessary if outside of my range, such as downtown Chicago or Wisconsin.
