Standalone Consultation for Birth Planning

$200

In this 3-hour consultation, we will talk through the physiology of birth, work together to map out your birth preferences, explore comfort measures through the different phases of labor (including physical tools, breathing techniques, movement, mindfulness, and positions), and discuss evidence-based risks and benefits of possible interventions (including induction and Cesarean). There will be space to discuss whatever questions you may have, explore what you feel excited and fearful about, and talk through how you might express your preferences to providers confidently and effectively.

“Carole's thoughtful, calming, and supportive presence was something I relied on during moments of prenatal care as well as during labor and birth itself. With all of the twists and turns that pregnancy can take, having Carole by my side was invaluable. Carole somehow was able to make herself feel like a combination of an old friend and a wise mentor, and I know that my birth experience would not have been the same without her.”
