Appointments are an hour long. During this time I screen for pregnancy complications while educating client (and family) about birth & body literacy. I focus on natural and Indigenous ways to care for the body during childbearing such as: nutrition, herbs and preparing for the cuarentena.

Our appointments also include childbirth, breastfeeding/bodyfeeding, and newborn care classes. My clients report back that they felt very prepared for their birth experiences because of our prenatal appointments.

I’m on call for my clients starting at 37 weeks gestation. All care during labor is provided at the client’s home. Because of the relationship and trust built during the prenatal care, I am well-versed on the client’s preference are & have a good understanding the family dynamics.

During labor we monitor for important signs of well-being, such as listening to the fetal heart tones through out labor. Other medical intentions are used only when needed. Clients are encouraged to birth in the positions they find the most effective and comfortable.

I take care of clients and their newborn babies for the first 6 weeks after birth. I schedule appointments for 1 day, 3 day, 1 week, and 2 week postpartum (& I am available if an issue comes up outside of appointment times.)

During this time I ensure that breast-feeding is going well and baby is gaining weight appropriately, and that the birth parent is recovering from the birth well. At the 6 weeks postpartum appointment we do a closing ceremony and birth certificate paperwork.

Includes prenatal care, homebirth, & postpartum care for 6 weeks after the birth, including newborn well-being checks.
