What to Expect When We Walk Together

Beginning at 5 months of your pregnancy we will have monthly prenatal visits before your estimated due date in order to explore and discuss your priorities and any fears or concerns, and to plan how I can best support you. During the prenatal visits, we will review your preferences for labor and birth. I will ask about your knowledge of the birth process, your own personal ways of coping with pain, fatigue, and difficult situations, what your expectations are of your partner and myself, plus the roles of anyone else who will be attending the birth. We can discuss any fears and concerns you have regarding labor and birth. My goal is to help you have a satisfying birth as you define it. The more we explore this in advance, the better I will be able to fulfill this role. All information you give to me is kept strictly confidential. I may lend you books or suggest online resources to aid you in preparing your mind, body, and spirit for birth.
My goal is to be completely present for your birth experience - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through active listening and intuition, I adjust my role and manner according to your needs, and seek to promote positive communication between all members of your birth team.
Spiritual & Environmental Protection: I will serve as a continuous spiritual guard, praying physical and spiritual protection over you and your baby. I will safeguard your birth space—dimming lights, keeping voices low, and advocating for your birth plan—so you can focus entirely on your body while I handle the space around you.
Hands-On Physical Comfort: I will provide physical comfort techniques to help manage sensations and support labor progress when desired, including counterpressure, double hip squeezes, Rebozo techniques, massage tools, and gentle touch. I respect your autonomy at all times and will always obtain expressed consent before touching you or your baby.
Movement & Position Support: I believe birth progresses best when you listen to your body and move naturally. If physical or emotional roadblocks arise, I will gently suggest position changes to create space and encourage progress.
Nourishment & Hydration: I will keep food and drinks readily available and offer them frequently throughout labor to keep your energy up.
Spiritual & Emotional Encouragement: I will serve as your cheerleader, offering encouragement tailored to your energy and pointing you back to God and your own strength as you surrender to and embrace the birth process.
Partner & Practical Support: I will provide emotional and physical support to you, your partner, and your birth team. I am also happy to capture photos or videos and assist with other agreed-upon practical tasks.
This is not an all-inclusive list, and I am always happy to support you in whatever ways you need.
I usually remain with you for 2-3 hours after birth, until you are comfortable, settled, and your family is ready for quiet time together. I can also help with initial breastfeeding, if necessary. I continue to be available by phone, text, or email for six weeks after your birth. My services include 2 in-home postpartum visits of 2 hours each– usually 2-5 days after the birth and again 1 month after the birth. During these visits, I can provide breastfeeding support, baby care tips, referrals to community resources, a chance to discuss and process the birth experience, and tend to your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. I’m happy to support you and your family in whatever ways you need, from light housework, entertaining older children, meal preparation, and newborn care. Some of my favorite ways to support postpartum mommas are through prayer, massage, drawing an herbal bath, and preparing warm and nourishing food and drinks. Additional postpartum visits can be added at a rate of $50 per hour.
