I am not there to replace you, I am there to support you too.

Partners often carry so much love and anticipation into birth, but also uncertainty. You want to help, but it can be hard to know what to do in the moment. My goal is to make sure you feel calm, capable, and connected, so you can be fully present for the person you love. You are a vital part of this story, and I want you to look back on it feeling proud of how you showed up.

During birth, I stay close but never in the way. Sometimes that means handing you a cool cloth, reminding you of a comfort measure we practiced, or giving you a quick nod when something is going well. Other times it means stepping back so you can have a private moment with your partner. I am there to hold the energy of the room steady, to help you both feel safe and supported without ever taking over.

That same support continues after birth. Whether it is helping you both get settled at home, answering questions about feeding and recovery, or giving you time to rest while I care for the baby, my goal is always to strengthen your connection as a team.

This is your moment as much as it is theirs. My role is to make sure it unfolds in a way that feels grounded, loving, and memorable for both of you. If you would like to feel more prepared and confident in your role, I would love to talk about how we can prepare together.
