Offerings
Pregnancy is revered as a time to move more slowly, to stress less and enjoy more, to laugh and source joy.
I believe all of this.
After over a decade of midwifing, I also believe that pregnancy is a time to take stock, take inventory- to dig in. Pregnancy is a time to shore up, create more support, and develop everyday rituals that will sustain you. What do you need to do to slow down, drop in and connect with what is true and right in you? It is THIS voice, not the Pediatrician, not the Sleep Expert, not the Nutritionist, not the Midwife, that will guide you along your parenting journey.
What we do together:
Create A Foundation
Our model of relationship based care is built on trust, transparency and collaboration. Prenatal visits offer the space and time to get to know one another in a meaningful way.
Build Your Team
Referrals for bodywork, acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractic care, trauma resolution and mental health as needed. Some folks have big teams and some have small teams- it’s up to you.
Draw Your Map
Connect with how you feel and set an intention for how you want to feel by the time your baby arrives. We amplify what’s already working and support the nervous system to help get you there.
Satisfy the Intellect
Learn however YOU learn best. Education via discussion, storytelling, anecdotes, videos, classes and/or evidence based articles. Resources are curated to streamline the process.
Nourish Your Body
Practical recommendations and support to optimize physical well being. Nutrition, hydration, rest/sleep and movement are all considered. Let’s take what you’re already doing and elevate it.
Tend to Spirit
Simple practices to source joy and connect to yourself, your baby and your community. We focus on realistic anchors to create a bit of breathing room amidst the business of life.

This is a beautiful option for families planning a hospital birth who still want the benefits of full scope, holistic Midwifery care.
In this model, I provide the same level of care during pregnancy and postpartum as I would with my home birth clients. Families most commonly hire a Doula to attend the birth in the hospital.

Postpartum planning is some of the most important work we will do together!
How well tended and cared for we are in the postpartum period is affects our ability to metabolize the birth experience.
This plan includes 1 prenatal appointment to discuss your upcoming birth and outline an immediate postpartum plan to optimize breast/chest feeding and healing prior to being discharged from the hospital.
In addition, we have 5 in home postpartum visits (for both the postpartum parent and the baby).
This option also gives you the benefit of built in support between visits via email, text and phone support.

“Throughout that sacred life chapter of welcoming our second child Earth-side, Alana's presence formed a bedrock of positivity, strength, joy, and love that I believe fostered our family's dream birth. If you have the chance to bring Alana onto your team of birthing professionals, do so now. The woman is pure gold.”
