Pre-Pregnancy Plan

For couples trying to conceive, or dreaming and planning ahead.

$100 · one-hour consultation

An hour together, before any of it begins. We look at what you want, what your options actually are, and what you and your family need to do next.

What's included

Explore your birth options — hospital, home, or birth center

Most people have only ever seen one kind of birth. We go through what each one actually looks like in and around Charlotte, so you are choosing rather than defaulting.

Understand the labor process and how to tap into your body

What labor is really doing, stage by stage, and how to work with it instead of against it. This is the part that takes the fear down more than anything else.

Guidance on preparing financially — comfortable and ready

Birth costs money, and finding that out late adds a strain nobody needs. We talk it through early, while there is still room to plan.

Leave clear on what you and your family truly need next

You leave with a next step rather than a reading list. Sometimes that step is hiring a doula and sometimes it is not.

This is the smallest way to work together, and for a lot of families it is enough on its own. There is no obligation to go further.

How I prepare you

Spiritually

Reconnect with the quiet wisdom of your body and meet birth as the sacred threshold it is — calm, present, and unafraid.

Physically

Nourishment, movement, and breath tailored to your body — so you can tap into its natural rhythm and labor with confidence.

Emotionally

A steady, unhurried presence beside you and your family — someone who holds space, answers every question, and never leaves your side.
