If you have all the information, you can make the right choice for you.

I work with you to prepare physically, emotionally and intellectually for your birth.  When labor begins, I fully understand your preferences so that I can provide a level of physical and emotional support to both you and your partner that exceeds your expectations. I want you to feel that at your birth you are surrounded by a protective bubble.

In short, I work seamlessly with your care provider to create a calm, positive, confident environment so that you can focus as a couple on the birth of your baby.
