In the room

A partial list of what shows up with me. Every labor asks for something different, I read the room and adjust.

Where it helps, how long it helps, adjusted every contraction.
Breath work coaching
Simple patterns that keep you (and your partner) grounded.
Positioning
Movement and position changes to keep labor progressing.
Optimal fetal positioning
Techniques that support baby settling into a good position for birth.
Informed decision-making
Plain-language explanations so you can ask the right questions and consent to what fits your birth.
Hospital advocacy & education
Translating what your care team is saying and offering, so you never feel steamrolled.
Partner support
I help your partner be more present, not sidelined.
First-hour lactation support
Latch help and nursing guidance right after birth.
