SERVICES

Do you have a clear, precise vision for your birth?  Perhaps you’re more of a go-with-the-flow type of spirit...Or maybe you’re just plain freaked out.  Let me know where your head is at and how I can help. My services are tailored to suit your needs and your values, whatever they may be.
 

Beyond the birth is often referred to as the fourth trimester. This special time of getting to know your new baby is also the time of getting to know yourself as a newly born Mum. Postnatally, I can provide care to ensure you feel supported and taken care of.
