At this time, I am currently booking repeat clients only through Gentle Waves Birth Services, LLC.
For new clients, please schedule a welcome call with Empower- A Birth Collective to work with me privately!
- Full phone/text support during your pregnancy for education, resources, referrals and emotional support.
- Use of my lending library during pregnancy. My lending library consists of books, guided meditation CD’s for pregnancy positive affirmation bracelets to wear in the weeks leading up to birth. Ask me what books I have available, as they are constantly being cycled amongst clients. I will make every effort to ensure you are able to read what books are of most interest to you.
