Prenatal Education with a family-centered, evidence-based, and holistic approach to your birth and newborn
As a Certified Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator, Arielle works with women and families in preparing for their births and postpartum experiences through tailored Prenatal Consultations and Education.
PRENATAL EDUCATION AND PREPARATION DESIGNED AROUND YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS,
FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME
Using a blend of teaching and coaching techniques, Arielle's Prenatal Education focuses on the whole family, respecting each person's needs during this transitional time. With a focus on evidence-based care, as well as honoring your inner woman and parent wisdom, Arielle will help you navigate your information gathering as you prepare to meet your baby.
​
Whether you want to prepare for labor and birth or for your postpartum, you'll find the support you need here. Prenatal Education packages are designed to meet each woman and her family where they are. Together we work as a team to provide you with the labor and birth, or postpartum education you need. Arielle will guide you to discover your birth and postpartum vision, clarify what medical solutions will best facilitate these preferences, and support you in gathering the information you need to feel prepared, informed and confident about meeting your baby!

From hands-on practice with massage and coping techniques, to conversations on self-advocacy for you and your baby's needs, private in-home Prenatal Education is here for you.
