“The oak fought the wind and was broken; the willow bent when it must and survived.”

Prenatal Consultations

Pregnancy and birth are not etched in stone. There are so many factors outside of our control. When plans need to change or when concerns come up, how can you weed through all of the information to land on what feels right for you and your family?

While you may not need or want full doula support, there is still an opportunity to benefit from the knowledge and support we have to offer. As experienced childbirth educators and doulas, and with our own personal histories of pregnancy and birth complications to boot, we have the knowledge and the experience to help you understand what you’ve been told and what you might expect. We can also help you explore all of your options, understand the benefits and risks of those options, and help you explore your alternatives through a neutral, evidence-informed, and trauma-conscious lens. We can help you navigate some big decisions that you’re facing and support you emotionally to process anything that comes along that journey.

Examples of what we can help you with:

  • Inductions

  • Cesareans

  • TOLACs & VBACs

  • Multiples

  • High risk pregnancy

  • Chronic illness

  • Fetal diagnosis

  • Advanced maternal age

  • Changing providers

  • Transferring facilities

  • Knowing what to expect

  • Processing news

  • Making choices

  • Building a birth plan

  • Developing assertive and collaborative communication skills

  • Feeling heard and safe through the journey, however it unfolds

  • So much more!

Consultations take place over Zoom and are 1 hour long.

$65 per session (economic justice pricing available)
