Midwifery Consultation

1 Hour | $200

There are times, when despite your comfort with your care providers, you just need something extra. I provide consults that can put your birth experience “over the top.” Let’s have a conversation about how to elevate your experience to a whole new level.

In the consult, we explore topics like what the best diet is in pregnancy, the best herbs and supplements on the market, proven techniques to shorten labor and reduce pain, how to prevent post dates, and tons and tons of information on how to make postpartum healing quicker, and prevent postpartum depression.

You garner the experience of a 30 year veteran midwife who likes good science. I will act as a clearing house of information so that all you need to do is grow your baby, and nurture yourself!
