Birth Plan Sessions - Now Available

It’s important to have a good foundation for your birth. Birth plans are a great way to lay that foundation and help you understand your choices. While they are a great resource for anyone going through childbirth, I especially encourage those who have not hired a doula or other support person, to write one for themselves. Learn how to write a positive birth plan during this two-hour consultation and learn your birth choices. A sample birth plan will be provided. I encourage you to bring your own birth plan or notes about what you’d like to see for your birth.

Fee: $50 for a two-hour session

 


If you have any concerns about your own health or the health of your child, you
should always consult with a physician or other healthcare professional.
