Holistic Birth & Postpartum Support in Austin, Texas

Where physiology, intuition, and reverence for birth come together.

Birth is a sacred, physiological process — not a medical event. My role is to walk beside you as a steady, experienced companion; to help you feel prepared, supported, and safe in the journey from pregnancy through postpartum. I offer non-medical, private birth support for families across Austin and the Central Texas Hill Country.

Wherever you’re having your baby, I’ll be there. (And I do mean WHEREVER. I’ll come to your car if that’s where it happens.) From the moment we partner, until you’ve confidently stepped into your role as a parent, I’ll walk you through it. Pregnancy questions? No problem. Wondering how to best prepare your body for birth? I got you. Need help with retraining your brain? We can do that too.

Prenatal Guidance & Education

Pregnancy is not a condition to manage — it’s a relationship to deepen.
During our prenatal visits, we create space to explore:

  • Nutrition, rest, and emotional well-being

  • The physiology of birth and how to protect it

  • Practical comfort measures for pregnancy and labor

  • Preparing partners or companions for support

  • Advocacy tools for communicating with providers

Every family’s path is unique. I help you make informed, aligned choices and cultivate the calm confidence that comes from understanding your own body and baby.

Need to fill in some knowledge gaps? Want to ask some questions about birth that you can’t trust your provider with? Just need a grounding chat? I blend the sacred and science of birth through the lens of having worked inside the system (and having left said system) and out of it. You can expect experiential knowledge and deep reverence for the birth experience.

Labor & Birth Support

When the day arrives, you won’t be alone.
I offer continuous emotional and physical support throughout your labor — wherever you choose to birth.

  • Gentle reassurance, grounding presence, and intuitive guidance

  • Positioning, breath work, and movement for comfort and progress

  • Creating and protecting a peaceful birth environment

  • Support for partners so they can stay connected and confident

I do not perform medical procedures or make medical decisions.
Instead, I hold space for your body’s innate wisdom and help you stay connected to the rhythm of your birth.

“Birth works best when we remember to get out of its way.”

Postpartum Healing & Traditional Care

The first forty days after birth are sacred. This is your time to rest, recover, and integrate. My postpartum care is rooted in traditional practices that honor the physical and energetic closing of the childbearing year.

Services may include:

  • Postpartum check-ins focused on comfort, bonding, and nourishment

  • Closing of the Bones Ceremony — a ritual using warmth, wrapping, and intention to bring your body back together after birth

  • Bengkung Belly Binding — gentle support for the abdomen and pelvis, promoting alignment and healing

  • Herbal and nutritional guidance for restoration and vitality
