Birth Mentoring
~Through soul-searching
and listening more and more deeply
to the women I was working with,
I finally understood that women
have to prepare for birth
in their heart and soul,
not in their head.
And that giving birth is something a woman does
in her body,
not in her head.
Offerings for pregnancy and beyond…
Holistic Perinatal Support and Birth Mentoring
Birth is a profoundly transformative and deeply sacred experience. It is not only the birth of a baby, but also the birth of a mother, a parent, and a new family.
My approach offers personalized perinatal support that weaves together birth preparation, virtual labor guidance, lactation care, and traditional Ayurvedic practices. My intention is to help you feel informed, grounded, nourished, and deeply cared for throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period.
During pregnancy, our visits may include bodywork and movement for labor preparation, nutritional and herbal guidance rooted in traditional Ayurvedic principles, birth planning, personalized coaching, emotional support, and preparation for postpartum recovery.
When labor begins, I provide virtual support to help you and your partner navigate the unfolding experience. This may include guidance with movement and comfort measures, emotional grounding, partner coaching, and support communicating your questions and preferences to your care team. My offerings include virtual labor support only and do not include in-person attendance during labor or birth.
After your baby arrives, I continue supporting your family through an immediate postpartum hospital visit and restorative in-home care. Depending on the offering you select, postpartum support may include an Ayurvedic first food, warm herbal infusions, evidence-based lactation care, belly binding, bodywork, herbal therapies, nourishing foods, newborn-care guidance, and emotional support as you recover and settle into life with your baby.
Each offering is designed to honor the mother-baby dyad while providing practical, individualized care throughout the perinatal transition.
Using Your Insurance Benefits
My services are available to both private-pay and insurance-covered clients. If your insurance plan includes doula benefits, we can thoughtfully use your covered prenatal and postpartum visits within this model while maintaining continuity of care.
Virtual labor support and traditional Ayurvedic services may not be covered by every insurance plan. Any services not covered by insurance may be added as private-pay options so your care can be tailored to your family’s needs and preferences.
