Pregnancy invites you to embrace profound change.
Be an active participant.
Pregnancy is a rite of passage with many choices to make. There is no one-size-fits-all when endeavoring to ensure a calm, supported, and well-resourced journey.
Hire an experienced midwife, mother, and guide who gives personalized care and support through termination, loss, pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, and parenting.
Dorian Mains, LM, CPM
When a baby is born, the whole world shifts, and at the epicenter of that ripple is YOU.
You're the one navigating how to move forward, piecing together the parts of yourself you remember from before along with the new ones that are forming—the new parent version of you. The family wheel is turning, whether this is your first, second, third, or beyond.
You have the power to choose the who, what, when, where, and why of your birth experience. As you navigate this profound change, setting a solid foundation is essential.
My role as a midwife, doula monitrice, yoga instructor, and parent educator is to support you in securing that foundation by providing the clinical, educational, emotional, and physical care you need to embrace this transition.
My goal is for you to feel informed, supported, and respected every step of the way, so you can thrive as you embark on this incredible journey into parenthood.
