Looking for a place to chat? I am the facilitator for MotherWell’s weekly virtual support groups: pregnancy (Monday nights at 7pm EST) and postpartum (Monday nights at 8pm EST). Click here for more information and to sign up.
Wanting to learn? I have several different class offerings that cover early pregnancy, childbirth, newborn care, grandparent support, bereavement support, and more. I offer these classes both in-person (usually in the South Bend, IN, area) and virtually.
Check out the Classes tab for more information!
Want to know your birthing options and figure out your preferences?
If you are looking for help forming or filling out your birth plan/preferences, I offer prenatal meetings for $55 each. These typically last 60-90 minutes can be done virtually if you are not in my geographic area. I can also offer other consultations upon request. Tell me more through this form about how I can support you.
Seeking a doula as you prepare for your birth?
My birth doula package includes:
text or phone support anytime you want it,
two prenatal meetings for you and any support people you invite,
being on-call 24/7, generally from your 38th week of pregnancy until birth,
up to 12 hours or more of labor support – at your home and / or at the hospital,
one postpartum meeting,
and ongoing pregnancy and parenting support through my community groups.
The investment for this package is $1600.
Please note: After a wonderful decade here in South Bend, I am bidding farewell to the Michiana area. I will not be accepting in-person clients in South Bend due after March 2023.
I am accepting birth doula clients at my new location, St. Louis, MO, due late 2023 and beyond.
Contact me through this link, and we can set up a time to chat about whether I might be the perfect fit for you!
