Nourished Birth Retreat

Learn more about our upcoming virtual retreat complete with childbirth preparation, prenatal yoga and a ritual to celebrate this journey of pregnancy and birth. I know the world feels a little crazy and we may not have the pregnancy journey we were hoping for, but let’s add a little magic while finding more confidence and connection!

Nourished Birth prenatal package

If you are choosing not to have a doula at your birth or are unable to, this is a great option to feel prepared to support and be supported during your birth. This all-inclusive package will provide many touch points to fully prepare both you and partner to feel more confident and knowledgeable about this journey. Preparing your partner to support you during this time will allow for more connection as your family grows.  I want to help remove the fear of the unknown and equip you to feel ready to meet your baby!

All services will be offered virtually via Zoom.

Private Childbirth Education -customized to your needs

Whether you are a new parent with a busy schedule or you just want a more customized experience, I understand that the typical childbirth prep classes are not one-size-fits-all. I recommend 2-3 sessions of 2 hrs each, but work with clients to find the best fit for them. There is also an option to combine this with other services including private yoga, birth support and placenta encapsulation. With combined packages discounts are offered.

If this is something you might be interested in please reach out and I will be happy to create a customized plan for you.

Possible Offering:

2 sessions in your home or mine - $150 per 2 hour session Total: $300
