Pregnant women come to me for help preparing for their transformational journey into motherhood. Since 2004 I've been supporting mothers-to-be in exploring all of their options through evidence-based, unbiased, non-judgmental childbirth education courses and birthwork as a professional doula.

About 60 out of 100 women give birth on or before their given due date. In another 35 out of 100 women, contractions start on their own within two weeks of the due date. But it takes longer in about 5 out of 100 women.
