"Whenever and however you intend to give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirit for the rest of your life."
Ina May Gaskin
I would be thrilled to educate, support and guide you through the preparation process of childbirth and breastfeeding. I am here to help decrease any anxiety you may have by providing you with accurate, up-to-date information in a fun and engaging way.
I blend my personal experience of having 4 natural childbirths, my work as a L&D and Postpartum nurse, as well as my extensive experience as an IBCLC to help you fully understand what's happening to your body. I ultimately want you to feel well prepared, confident and empowered in your "precious beginnings".
