Pregnancy Coaching
Welcome to motherhood! This sacred journey is a beautiful one, but it can also feel overwhelming.
Motherhood transforms you on every level - physically, emotionally, mentally, energetically and spiritually.
Most prenatal appointments, with your OB or midwife, are short check-ins. But what about your questions, emotions and changing needs in between? Scrolling social media isn’t necessarily helpful.
Pregnancy Coaching helps you make thoughtful decisions, without overthinking so you can prepare intentionally and intelligently for your baby’s arrival.
Imagine having an expert by your side every step and every breath of the way. Someone to guide, support and empower you throughout pregnancy, birth and early motherhood so you can be calm, centered and confident - no matter what comes your way.
That’s where I come in.
As your Pregnancy Coach, you’re never alone. I walk alongside you during this exciting time, offering guidance on how to take care of your changing body, what questions to ask your medical provider and how to release doubt, fear and anxiety as you prepare for birth and motherhood.
Evidence-based tools and practices, along with childbirth education throughout your pregnancy help ensure you’ll be ready when labor comes so you can step into motherhood in a state of joy and relaxation rather than feeling anxious and worried.
I provide virtual and in-person Pregnancy Coaching NYC services to support you every step and every breath of the way.
With Pregnancy Coaching, you get personalized care - for your body, mind and soul and the emotional support you need during this transformative time. Every mama needs support. Get the support you deserve, for a positive and empowering experience.
I also support families locally with Pregnancy Coaching NYC, offering in-person guidance tailored to New York families.
