Prenatal Visits
Prenatal appointments take place every month until 28 weeks, every 2 weeks until 36 weeks, then weekly until the birth.
Visits are an hour long, with plenty of time to answer questions and dive deep. Our care is holistic, with nutritional counseling, herbal medicine, and education woven into our visits.
I emphasize relationship building, bodily autonomy, informed consent, and tending to one’s emotional wellbeing.
