birth preparation and postpartum mood support
mothering for the mother.
connection with someone who deeply cares.
I blend my 20+ years experience as a homebirth, birth center, and hospital midwife (CNM/CPM) to offer evidence based, deeply nourishing care - from helping you conceive, to preventing recurrent losses, to postpartum care and mood support (postpartum anxiety, depression) from a provider with a wealth of experience so you can enjoy your birth experience and postpartum journey.
pregnancy support and birth preparation:
conception support
hormone analysis and support for recurrent losses
birth prep, customized to you and your family
birth plan assistance – helping you with realistic birth goals
optimal fetal positioning (with Leopold’s maneuvers) - prevent back labor
how to use birth to more deeply connect with your partner
postpartum support (addressing pain, discomfort, and mood concerns) with holistic, natural, or pharmaceutical options
Birth prep
Ideal for first time mothers as well as women who have experienced previous birth trauma and are birthing again but have fear. Together we will brainstorm your birth goals, troubleshoot your birth plan using my experience working in local hospitals to make it more realistic (please bring a completed draft), facilitate releasing fear around birth and motherhood so your body can open to birthing. Your partner and children are welcome to attend as well, to more fully support you and your motherhood journey.
in utero position assessment and correction (optimal fetal positioning)
I use traditional midwifery hand techniques, Leopold’s maneuvers, and indigenous Mayan midwifery skills to map your baby within your belly so you can know their position, guide you through exercises to rotate into and maintain the baby in an optimal position for birth (occiput anterior) to foster a more comfortable pregnancy and birth, prevent painful back labor, and reduce the chances of failure to progress in labor and a cesarean delivery. Let my hands nourish you and help nudge your baby into a favorable position for birth.
*this is not turning your breech baby to head down*
“GeorgAnna has been my care provider for the past 6 years. She was my midwife for the birth of my second daughter and from the moment we met I knew I’d found the right fit for my healthcare needs. Her passion to help women comes through in her calm demeanor and gentle touch. Visits with her feel safe and comfortable and most importantly she listens to what you say with empathy and understanding. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a provider who truly cares about their patients.”
