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.

    • Anticipatory guidance and education about decisions that you’ll be making with your hospital team.

Postpartum Care

  • 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.”
