Serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, and surrounding areas. Labor Prep and Postpartum Prep sessions are available virtually across the U.S.
Two of your three prenatal visits focus on labor. The third is for what comes after.
We'll talk through those first days at home: where you'll feed the baby, what you'll want nearby at 3 a.m., and what you can let go of for a while.
We'll also talk through the practical things that are easy to overlook before the baby arrives—what meals might make things easier, what help you might want to line up, and who you can call when you need another set of hands. We'll make a plan that works for your circumstances, without assuming everything will somehow fall into place.
Visitors get their own conversation. When you want them, when you don't, and how to set those boundaries before you're tired and newly postpartum. If it helps, we'll talk through how you want to communicate those boundaries—and who you might want in your corner to help.
I'll also share the local providers I trust and regularly recommend, from pelvic floor physical therapists and lactation support to perinatal therapists and other postpartum resources.
The goal isn't to have everything figured out. It's to have a little more support around you before you need it.
The first weeks at home are tender, disorienting, and often much quieter than anyone warns you about. Postpartum support means someone in your home who knows what they're doing, so you can rest, feed your baby, eat a real meal, and find your footing.
A single extended overnight for the night you come home from the hospital or birth center. I meet you at home, help you settle, and stay through the following morning. For many families this is the highest-impact night of the entire postpartum period.
An unhurried visit in the weeks after birth to talk through how it all went, what surprised you, and what you're still carrying.
Note on pricing: if you book me for both birth and postpartum, you get my best postpartum rate from the start.
Fully virtual sessions are available across the U.S.
A session for you and whoever is coming with you into the room. We walk through labor stage by stage: what to expect, what it tends to feel like, and what your support person can do at each point. We practice the comfort measures together, so counterpressure, positions, and breathing are familiar before you need them. You leave with a toolkit for each stage and a support person who feels empowered and knows what their role is.

What I hear most often is that nobody knew how hard those first weeks would be, or what they could have set up in advance to make them easier. This session is for you and whoever is going to be in it with you. We sit down before the baby comes and build a plan for early in the fourth trimester. These are the conversations worth having in advance: who handles the food, what the ground rules are for visitors, who is allowed in your bubble. Answering these questions means you can spend the first weeks focused on healing and getting to know your baby.
We cover:
You leave with a written postpartum plan and a stocked-house checklist.
Building your postpartum team is one of the most protective things you can do for yourself and your baby.
Quality support during birth and postpartum should not depend on income. I hold a sliding scale for every service listed here. If cost is the thing standing between you and support, please reach out.
Not sure what you need? Most people aren't. Start with a free 30 minute consult and we'll figure out what would actually help.
