2 virtual prenatal visits (approximately 4 hours total)
All material that I usually cover with my clients in prenatal visits will be covered with you, with a focus on partner support.
Extended Postpartum Care: $35 per hour (HST included)
An additional service for extended hospital support or at home postpartum care.
After your baby's birth and first nursing session, you may be in need of extra support. Perhaps this is because you will be in the hospital for another 24-48 hours and no other visitors are allowed. In that situation I can help ensure your comfort, assist with movement, and provide additional support in caring for your newborn. Or, perhaps you have come home from the hospital, had your free postpartum visit, feel a connection with your birth doula, and would like to a few extra visits. Whatever the reason, I want to ensure your comfort and success through this transition to a new phase of life!
Bereavement Package: Donations Accepted

If you would like extra support due to this tragic turn of events, please know that I would be honoured to offer my services to you and your family during this difficult time. I can offer you emotional support, physical comfort, and help you in memory making with your baby during this difficult time. I know these circumstances are often unforseen, so when filling out the contact form please mark due date as "now," if that applies to you. I will do my best to support you in whatever capacity I can on short notice.
