Birth Services

I provide emotional, physical and educational support to people during the full spectrum of pregnancy: conception, miscarriage, abortion, birth, postpartum and contraception. Not every story related to our reproductive health is a happy one with a fairytale ending so it is important for me to hold space for the person who has had multiple miscarriages, as it is for the person who is pregnant with more than one baby; for the pregnant cis woman and for the person who is trans or non-binary. I want to be there for the person who is having an abortion or a sterilization procedure and for the person who is undergoing fertility treatments; for the person who birthed a stillborn and for the person who birthed a perfectly healthy baby. I want to support the single parent who is experiencing pregnancy without a partner and the co-parents who hired a surrogate to carry their baby; someone who is exclusively breastfeeding and someone whom breastfeeding wasn’t an option, someone who thrives in the postpartum period and someone who struggles. All of these people matter. All of their stories matter.
