creating your birth preferences + intentions + reviewing your childbirth education classes.
discussing in detail how I will best support you during your birth.
ensuring you have all of the support, information, and resources that you need.
Unlimited text + phone support upon hire.
Herbal support and yoga + movement tips for nourishment and pain relief.
Access to carefully selected resource sheets, packing lists, educational sheets and videos, registry shopping suggestions, and more.
In-person physical, emotional, informational, and advocacy support during your labor.

One 2 hour postpartum visit to discuss and process your birth together, see how you are doing as a family, and provide resources and recommendations as needed.

Sliding scale descriptions adapted from Worts & Cunning Apothecary.
“For my birth one of my main worries was not being heard + having trouble advocating for myself in the hospital, especially as a woman of color. My birth didn’t go as planned + was very different than what I hoped for. We felt fully supported by Sophia emotionally, their presence was very comforting + made us feel assured that someone was looking out for me + our best interests through my labor + delivery.”
