What I can do for you
I am a professional who offers many different services to help parents ease into the transition of being pregnant to being new parents.  I offer nonjudgmental support, education on all of your options and plenty of services to ensure that you enjoy this special time.  From suggesting nursery furniture and some birthing classes to teaching you techniques to sooth your newborn- I will be there for as long as you need.

Once you contact me, I will follow up with you and we will set up a time to meet.  This  one-hour consultation will help me to find out where you are at and what your needs are.  I will also use this time to get an idea of your personality as well as your philosophies on health, child-rearing and your environment.  Within the next week  I will design two customized plans based on what I’ve learned about your needs.  As a team, we will decide on the best option together and do some fine-tuning.  At this point the possibilities are endless and I will ensure you get the best service I can offer.  Some of the services I can assist you with include:

Pre and postnatal stress management coaching.  As we all know, stress is inevitable prior to conception, during pregnancy and post birth.
