Pregnancy Coaching & Companionship
You’re pregnant! Now what?
Where do you start? How do you eat, sleep, and move at each stage of pregnancy? How do you build your care team? Who do you call on for support? What do you need to do to prepare for birth and postpartum while also tending to you and your growing babe throughout pregnancy? There are countless questions to ask and endless sources of information to gather insight from.
Consider me your trail guide, concierge, and steady companion as you navigate the research, decision-making, and existential inquiries of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am here to help you take ownership of your journey, to approach each day with confidence and clarity so that you may walk into and through parenthood feeling rooted, supported, and whole.
What This Offering Looks Like
Together we’ll break every step of this journey down as you desire. We’ll flag what decisions need to be made and when. We’ll explore what to expect, and throughout it all, we’ll tend to you. You deserve to feel deeply resourced so you can simply be in this sacred rite of passage.
Monthly calls, built around you — a blend of breathwork or meditation, and coaching around the decisions in front of you.
Together, we build a rhythm: a monthly ritual and a weekly routine that hold you steady through the changing weeks of pregnancy.
For those interested in additional movement guidance, a monthly movement call can also be added, weaving embodiment more deeply into your support. My weekly Prenatal Flow class at Wild Qi and Groove Together class at Illuminate Studios are other beautiful ways to bring that rhythm into your week.
We’ll move through the practical and the personal together — choosing your birth team, exploring your birth location, curating resources that actually fit your life, basic nutrition, navigating pregnancy with intention and presence, and more.
What This Is Really About
Take a leading role in your care. Assemble a care team that supports your vision for birth and postpartum. Walk through this journey feeling resourced and affirmed by the people and environment that surround you. The long list of decisions can feel daunting — and also it is possible to make informed decisions without becoming an expert in birth and postpartum. Consider me your perinatal concierge, a wise and familiar trail guide along a mountain pass you have yet to traverse.
Pregnancy comes with more decisions than anyone tells you about — and more noise than any one person should have to sort through alone. My role isn’t to hand you my answers. My role is to be a steady companion on your journey: someone who helps mitigate the decision fatigue, and gently interrupts the pressure to stuff your brain with more intellectual information so you can live inside your own embodied experience instead of researching your way out of it.
So much of what’s out there speaks to birth and postpartum in the abstract — not to you: your body, your instincts, your life. This is a space to exhale. To slow down and to remember that you have everything you need within yourself to grow and birth and nurture your baby.
This is companionship, not a curriculum. Some months we’ll talk logistics. Other months we’ll simply breathe and check in with how you are doing and feeling in that very moment. The support and guidance we crave in the perinatal time is ancestral. We are meant to be help by warm loving community as we cross these transformative thresholds.
Some people are happy to follow the directions of the care providers and “experts” assigned to them without question — this offering is not for them. This is not for you if you prefer to do what you are told when it comes to your health and well being. This is for you if you want to take ownership of your perinatal journey. To surround yourself with the kinds of resources, voices, and daily practices that align with your values and with the vision you hold for the life you are creating. I will offer you warm loving and informative support, guidance where you feel most unsure, and constant reminders of your innate wisdom and strength.
