Individualized Prenatal Consultation and Care
How can I help you plan for conception, during pregnancy, or in expectation of a birth or adoption?
Sample Prenatal Services - "Before Baby"
One-time consultations or ongoing support packages are available (starting at $50 per hour; travel feel may apply, based on location). Prepaid hours unused at the time of the birth can be applied to postnatal services. Prenatal support could be especially useful in a case of planned home birth, bed rest, adoption, surrogacy, or extreme pregnancy-related nausea or fatigue. Contact me to discuss your needs.
