Continuity of Care

Soft and sustained support at your fingertips

The Continuity of Care package encompasses virtual support from hire through postpartum, including a private HypnoBirthing® series, ongoing doula guidance, a lactation class, postpartum lactation support, and optional postpartum birth story processing.

Online HypnoBirthing® Classes                  

HypnoBirthing® is a childbirth technique and philosophy that focuses on fear release and deep relaxation. Beyond being an evidenced-based childbirth education class, HypnoBirthing® looks at the relationship between mind and body, exploring how our thoughts shape our experiences, and consequently our births. Through breathing, visualization, and self-hypnosis,

HypnoBirthing® supports you in birthing instinctively and without fear.​​

​

Group classes are held on Zoom on Saturdays at 1:00 PM EST/19:00 CET and Sundays at 11:00 AM EST/17:00 CET.

The program meets once a week over the course of 5 weeks for 2.5

hours each class. ​

Client Testimonial

Birth was absolutely amazing. It could not have been a more peaceful and gentle experience. I had the affirmations playing during most of the laboring and was in complete focus on surrender. I can’t say I felt any pain like I expected. More like intense moments of pressure but nothing I wasn’t able to breathe through as the strong surges passed. What a beautiful journey indeed. I’m so thankful for the hypnobirthing classes and I’ve been telling everyone about how important it is to learn about! I appreciate your support so much!

What is a doula?

A trained professional who provides continuous non-medical, physical, emotional and informational support to their client before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.

Virtual Doula Support

As a Certified Doula, I offer emotional and informational support so that you may move towards an intentional and fulfilled birth. Pairing evidence-based information with your intuition and lived experience, I support you in the process of informed decision making. I offer affirmative and non-judgemental care rooted in a collaborative approach.

​

Birth support includes the following:

 

  • Ongoing video and text support from the time of hire through the postpartum period

  • Evidence-based resources tailored to your individual needs

  • 3 virtual birth preparation sessions covering birth planning, comfort measures, support for your birth team, and what to expect in the immediate postpartum

  • 3 virtual postpartum sessions focusing on lactation and infant feeding, mind/body healing, and optional birth story processing​

Now Offering Soft Sustenance

Soft Sustenance is a 1.5-hour lactation and infant feeding class that focuses on whole person preperation. Nourishing your baby is a physiological, emotional and social process that expands beyond latching. While this class covers all of the foundational information you need to confidently feed your baby, it also prepares you for the dynamic journey of infant feeding by emphasizing whole person wellness for the dyad (parent and baby). 

Lactation Education and Support

As a Certified Lactation Counselor and Breastfeeding Educator under the mentorship of a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I offer virtual lactation education and postpartum support with feeding your baby.

 

Prenatal support covers essential lactation topics, including preparation for breastfeeding/chestfeeding, proper latch and positioning, feeding cues, signs that baby is getting enough milk, feeding frequency, milk transitions, milk supply, pumping and storage, bottle feeding, common challenges and solutions, weaning, and the hormonal, psychological, and emotional aspects of lactation—and more!

 

Postpartum support includes answering your questions, identifying feeding challenges, providing solutions, offering referrals for complex concerns, and connecting you with resources  to support you in nourishing your baby in the best way for your family.

Birth Plan Consultation

Virtual consultations to assist you in navigating your choices in childbirth. Together, we will discuss common hospital policies and interventions, what to expect at the hospital, birth center, or homebirth setting, selecting the right care team, informed consent, birth preferences and birth plans, role of the partner or support person, coping techniques in labor, and more to ensure you are entering your birthing time feeling confident and informed.

Birth Experience Processing

I offer a compassionate and supportive space for you to reflect on and process your birth experience. Whether your experience was empowering, challenging, or even traumatic, this is an opportunity to share your story and begin to integrate it. You’re invited to express yourself—without judgment—and receive insight from someone who understands birth and the many contexts in which it unfolds. This is an opportunity for you to be heard, validated, and truly witnessed as you begin to integrate your experience and move forward in your journey.
