Perinatal, Birth & Family Support — What I Offer

Pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early family life are profound thresholds. Even when things appear “normal” on the surface, these periods often stir deep physical, emotional, and relational shifts. The nervous system is adapting. Identity is reorganizing. Old material may surface alongside new responsibilities and attachments.

My work in perinatal, birth, and family support is grounded, relational, and body-aware. I offer steady presence during times of transition — not to fix or optimize, but to help you orient, regulate, and make sense of what is unfolding.

This support is appropriate for people who feel overwhelmed, tender, disconnected, unsure of themselves, or quietly struggling — even if they can’t quite name why.

How I work in this area

Perinatal and family experiences live in the body as much as the mind. Stress, fear, grief, and attachment patterns often register somatically before they become conscious narratives. Our work pays attention to these signals with care and pacing.

Sessions may include:

• Emotional support during pregnancy and postpartum

• Somatic support for birth-related stress, shock, or unresolved experience

• Space to process fertility journeys, pregnancy loss, or complex reproductive experiences

• Support during early parenting and family role transitions

• Gentle exploration of identity shifts, relational changes, and cumulative stress

This work is collaborative and responsive. We move slowly, tracking capacity, safety, and what feels possible in the moment.

Who this work is for

People often seek this support when:

• They feel unlike themselves after birth or during pregnancy

• Birth experiences continue to linger in the body or nervous system

• Anxiety, grief, or emotional numbness appears without a clear cause

• Early parenting feels disorienting or isolating

• Old patterns or childhood material resurface during family transitions

You do not need to be in crisis to benefit. Many people come because something feels off, tender, or unresolved — and they want a place to attend to it with respect.

What this work is — and isn’t

This is not crisis intervention, coaching, or prescriptive advice. It is not about pushing insight or reframing experience prematurely. Instead, it offers relational support that honors the intelligence of the body, the impact of early experiences, and the complexity of family life.

The intention is steadiness rather than urgency — creating conditions where integration, clarity, and relief can emerge naturally over time.

If you’re unsure where you fit, that uncertainty itself is welcome here.
