I have created these offerings to give a bit of variety and so my families have a few different options to choose from. However, if these don’t feel right for you and you’re after something a little more tailor made, please reach out and we can chat about your options. Payment plans are also available for my services.

My services are currently only available on the Central Coast and parts of Sydney NSW. I only take on one birth per month to ensure I can be fully present and support you as best as I can.
