I vow to provide a confidential, judgment-free space to process complex emotions, find resources, and prepare yourself for terminating a wanted or unwanted pregnancy.

This is a volunteer service. There is no fee for you.

This consists of…

• An in-person, zoom, or phone conversation to discuss the following:

  • Risks and benefits of abortion options

  • Types of abortions & finding out what's right for you

  • What to expect

  • The spectrum of normal bleeding

  • Navigating laws and barriers to care

  • Self managed abortions & medication abortion schedule 

  • Aftercare

• In-person support at every appointment leading up to the procedure

• In-person support during the procedure, whether that is at a clinic or in your home

• A healing or letting-go ceremony and reflective practice

• Questions answered and help creating a plan for the future

• Half-hour check-in on the phone or video chat 6 weeks after the procedure

Already had an abortion? Need a supportive, open, and comforting person to help you process your experience?

    • I love arriving to homes with groceries and dedicating the first half hour of our shift to preparing a meal for you. I will bring you said meal and teas on a tray for you to enjoy from the comfort of your bed.

  • Ayurvedic Treatments

    • Bellybinding balances your internal and external strengths by bringing the abdominal muscles in and calling on your bodily energy “vata” to help heal and create space to shift the organs back into their proper place. The belly bind utilizes the pressure of bound fabric to provide womb support and a foundation for internal organs, pull in the hips, speed up uterine involution, and repair diastasis recti. You must have your own cloth, or I can purchase one for you for $50.

    • Sitz baths made from homemade herbal mixtures tailored to your personal recovery. These baths can help relieve vaginal or perineal pain, swelling, and inflammation and soothe hemorrhoids. This treatment involves sitting in a warm container filled with herbal infused water and allowing the process to permeate the vaginal area and perineum. 

    • Homemade herbal teas infused with galactagogue to encourage lactation and support your breastfeeding journey 

Overnight support can be booked as individual nights of your choosing at $400/night for 8 hours.

I’ll wake you in a soothing manner, offering a cup of tea or water refill and yummy snack. After you’re finished feeding, I’ll grab baby, change their diaper and soothe them back to sleep as you fall back into a peaceful slumber.

• If you plan on pumping, I’ll sleep with baby in a different space of your home and feed them with a bottle of breastmilk. I will wake you in a soothing manner, offering to refill your cup and a yummy snack as you pump. After you’re finished, I’ll come into your room and grab your expressed milk, store it, and clean the pump parts until the next feed.
