Prana Pregnancy & Birth Services

Prana Pregnancy & Birth Services Holistic prenatal, birth, postnatal and bereavement service. Honoring all stages of life. This is YOUR story. No one else's. How would YOU like for it to unfold?

If you could plan the birth experience of your dreams, regardless of what everyone else and their mama thinks...what would it be? I want to help you frame memories on your baby's birth day! I believe birth is more than just a mechanical event or just the thing we do to get to the cute part. It is and can be a memorable transformation. We tend to spend thousands on weddings and other ceremonious

celebrations. An investment in the day we are born should be no exception. Invest in your experience. You both deserve it. It would be an honor to meet you in your most powerful and primitive form as you guide your baby into this world on their birth day! �

~~PRENATAL SUPPORT HEADSTART PACKAGE $222~~

Would you prefer some extra prenatal support, birth education or coaching but don't prefer an extra person on your birth team? I can help you along the way while you navigate important decision making processes, birth planning, resource finding and yoga if needed. And of course I’ll check in after your big day.

I am a strong supporter of the special time between partners or solitude for the birther in the beginning of the big day for early labor.

I was preparing for a recorded group talk on the dance of labor hormones today, and I am relieved to say that during my virtual meeting nary any kids blasted through my door screaming a**s and doing a baby b***y dance in frame, so I guess today’s gonna be a good day!

They’ll probably save that for the day I’m waxing about sphincters.

Brb, need to fill my coffee cup up with comforting oxytocin oatmilk instead of a shot of cortisol in my cup, cuz these kids did good respecting my space.

Maternity care, take note.

Cheers, boys!
I think they deserve an exogenous milk shakes as reward. 😆

Smiling ear to ear being invited to recall Benny’s birth (details in caption) in celebration of a very merry & Happy International Day of the Midwife to the powerhouse women who have touched my life & my family’s life in different ways…from the birth of my son to mentorship in the art & science of midwifery.
In order of how I met them, shouting out
Barbara Belcore, & the Maitri Midwifery team
Julie Banas, Birthing a Business Education
Raya Williams, Profound Birth,
Whapio Diane Bartlett with The Matrona &
Amy Moon Luebke of Moon Phases Of Life along with other fabulous birthworkers whom I’ve met or worked with along the way, thank you and I love you.
Congratulations to the Midwives who recently achieved their goals of becoming and to those still earning their reputations as midwives in their communities…keep going. You/we’ll see y/our transitions through. 😉 😘

"Having a Midwife meant accessing the type of personalized, holistic care I wasn’t prepared to access yet with my first child. By the second, and following a then-less-informed elective induction and the now-predictable and regretful epidural + instrumental birth meets episiotomy & PPD the first time, I pursued a team who aligned with me and trusted in my capabilities when I was working hard to believe what I was capable of myself. By August 30th, 2020 at 11:45 pm my Husband and I met the life changing, redeemed and empowered version of me alongside Barbara Belcore, CPM, my dear Midwife & now mentor & the Maitri Midwifery team (Julie Banaas, CPM & Raya Ford, CPM) who witnessed me do the most badass thing I’ve ever done welcoming in my 10lb 4oz chunk o’ chunk o’ burnin’ love son. During a time of chaos in the world, and an asynclytic presenting ham-baby with a shoulder dystocia, my team was capable of delivering the most special care while I euphorically announced his name as, “Benjamin”, as they smiled celebrating whilst calmly & confidently attending to a gnarly post partum hemmhorage like the wise woman ninjas they are. In gratitude and love"
