prenatal mentorship package (without birth)

Cost per trimester of care includes:

• Approx. 6 visits per trimester (2 per month) @ ~1-2 hours per visit (or may visit monthly for a bit longer). We will discuss your needs, birth plan, listen to baby, belly map, talk through fears, talk in depth about the birth process to deeply integrate what you learn in my classes, and more. Each session may look a little different, with possible herbal or homeopathic support, counsel for you and your partner, birth education, breastfeeding education, postpartum prep, Blessingway planning, and more.

• Attendance to all local and online classes offered on prenatal, birth, and postpartum empowerment education

• Attendance to local Village Prenatals (monthly for now in NC)

Best done with the partner.

• Text chat support for 1/2 hr or up to an hour per week, understanding of course that I too have limits, so I give this loose understanding here of what a reasonable one on one support system may look like.
