Feel empowered and supported, no matter the outcome
Your journey is yours—and we’re here to walk beside you with care, respect, and advocacy.
Prenatal Care Support
Pregnancy is a time of transformation—and you deserve care that meets your physical, emotional, and practical needs, including support around choices like abortion or exploring other outcomes. My prenatal support focuses on maternal health equity and goes beyond education and planning. I offer gentle, hands-on assistance with light housecleaning, meal prep, and organizing your space to reduce stress and create comfort during this perinatal period. Whether you're preparing for birth or seeking a calm presence as you navigate your pregnancy equity journey, I’m here to support you and your growing village.
Postpartum Planning
Postpartum is a time of deep transformation—and it deserves thoughtful preparation that aligns with maternal health equity. At Equity in Birth, I support you in planning for a smoother transition into life after pregnancy, with care that reflects your values, needs, and relationships. Together, we’ll explore:
Emotional Wellness Planning: Tools for mental health, rest, and healing
Infant Feeding & Pumping Support: Strategies for breastfeeding, chestfeeding, bottle-feeding, and pumping—especially for returning to work
Boundary Setting & Communication: Support for navigating roles, expectations, and healthy communication between parents and caregivers
Support Network Mapping: Identifying who can help and how to ask for what you need
Postpartum Care Planning: Scheduling rest, recovery, and follow-up care
Meal Prep & Practical Routines: Planning for nourishment, time management, and daily rhythms that support healing.
Whether you're parenting, grieving, or recovering from abortion or loss, including your right to choice, you deserve care that meets you where you are, ensuring that every aspect of perinatal support is addressed.
Medical Visits
Navigating medical care can feel overwhelming—especially when your voice isn’t always heard. At Equity in Birth, I offer support that extends beyond the birthing room, focusing on maternal health equity and pregnancy equity. I can accompany you to medical appointments to help you feel confident, ask questions, and advocate for your choices, whether you're navigating abortion options or discussing perinatal care. Together, we’ll ensure that your care reflects your values, your needs, and your right to be respected.
