Services
The best care is in a place where you feel most
comfortable, your home! The core of my practice is to provide my services to families at their homes, where there is comfort, privacy, and where all family members can
attend a prenatal or postpartum visit. Following a home
visit phone convenience via calls or text are available.
“Breast milk doesn’t just
appear when a baby is
born, your body begins
preparing to feed your
baby in the early months
of your pregnancy!”
