As your labor support provider, I accompany you during labor, as soon as you feel the need for me to be there  I draw on my education  as a massage therapist and experience of previously attended births to provide emotional support, physical comfort, and information you need to make informed decisions durring labor.  I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, massage, positioning and other techniques for comfort.  I am independent and self-employed, working for you, not your caregiver or hospital.  I will be available to you on call by cell phone 24 hours a day from the 37th week of your pregnancy until the baby is born. 

After birth  I remain with you until you feel comfortable, have sucessfully begun breastfeeding (if you choose) and your new family is ready for quiet bonding time.   I am available by phone durring the first 48 hours after your baby is born, to help answer any questions, or offer my support in any way I can.  I also offer infant massage 2 weeks after the birth of your baby.
