Birth Doula support
As your doula my role is to support you and your partner through birth and postpartum. As your guide, by your side through every rush, wave, surge, and contraction-expansion of labor. I’m there to help you stay true to yourself, to know your own power and find your way. Well versed in the process of natural childbirth and all its variations, I will be with you for whatever you need. I will encourage you in what you are doing that is helping give suggestions as needed, squeeze your hips and rub your back as long as you need it. I am also there to help you find your way with your practitioner, guide you through your birth and help your partner feel held, included and educated about what is happening. I will be by your side from whenever you are ready for support until a couple hours after your baby is born. To help you through the process. I’m your person.
Birth story photography
I’ll tell the story of the day your baby joined you earthside through photos. Documenting the precious first moments you hold your baby as well as the details that surrounding the day they were born . Of the love between you and your partner, of the relationship you have with your providers, and all the things that labor brings. Even the bouquet a friend sent you. Little pieces that will recreate the moment for you to savor for years to come. And can share with your babe to tell them about the day they were born. So the memories will always be perfectly preserved and will never fade.
Pregnancy and postpartum massage
Pregnant and postpartum bodies are changing daily and aches and pains are common but can be alleviated. My massage draws on techniques that help address those discomforts. I also draw on techniques that can help you prepare for labor by helping make space in your body for baby to get into an optimal position. Postpartum massage can soothe the tensions new parenting brings and help your body recover from your pregnancy and birth journey. I’m trained in swedish, deep tissue, myofascial techniques, craniosacral therapy and abdominal massage. Using these techniques to find what helps facilitate the deepest and most long lasting release in your body.
Maternity
Together we’ll capture the beauty of this time. Maternity sessions with me are laid back, connection based and candid. Minimal posing. You’ll come away with a gallery of 30 high resolution images. We can do solo photos and with your partner and any older kiddos.
Newborn sessions
Lifestyle based, rather than posed. 30 high resolution photos to hold the essence of this time for you. Pictures of your newborn and your family in your fresh days together.
