Prenatal Visit

In this two-hour session, we'll discuss your wishes for your birth. I will answer any questions you have about birth, labouring options and provide you with evidence so you can make decisions. I educate you about your rights in the birthing process and coach you on how to maintain autonomy in a hospital. I demonstrate different natural pain relief techniques that you can use during birth. A written birth plan is emailed to you following.

Birth Support

If you'd like the ultimate support person for your pregnancy, birth and beyond, this is the package for you! The birth support package includes a free one-hour consultation to see if we're a good fit, as well as two prenatal visits. These prenatal visits look very much like the Birth Prep service described above, except each visit will build on the last and allow me to tailor our meetings to your specific needs. They allow us to build connection and trust so that you're very comfortable with me by the time birth happens.

Birth support is delivered in the setting of your choice. When the big day comes, the best child birth class is good to have under your belt, but it doesn't replace having an advocate by your side. I promise to keep a cool head where family support persons might have too much emotional investment. Whether you plan to get all the drugs, or if you plan to move or mantra through the pain, or a combination of both, I promise to offer helpful tips, a comforting touch (if desired) and a calming presence at your birth.

One postpartum visit is included in this package which can be provided in hospital or at home. At this session, we will do a birth debrief, where we talk about how you felt about your birth experience. I also provide lactation support, tidying, cooking, and any other assistance you may require to keep things as stress-free as possible during this time.

Postpartum Visit

If you've just had a baby, adopted, been a surrogate, or even if you've just had a miscarriage, or lost a baby, this service is for you. I'm an accredited Leader with La Leche League Canada so I have specialized expertise in providing lactation, nursing and breastfeeding support, as well as infant care education. I can help tidy, give older siblings some attention and walk your dog. Anything that might be helpful to keep your household running smoothly and everyone free of stress and able to enjoy your newborn. Two hours, in your home.

C-Section Scar Tissue Massage

Are you experiencing numbness, tingling, itchiness, pain or coldness at the site of your incision? Do you have thick scar tissue or adhesions? Book me for a scar tissue massage. Scar tissue massages increase blood flow, scar pliability, reduces adhesions and scar thickness and tightness. As always, my approach is trauma-informed. I can teach you how to do this to yourself. Or my hands can do the work while I check in with you at every step to make sure things are feeling good. Please note this service cannot be provided prior to 4 months postpartum.
