RESOURCES

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Whether your first child or your third child, few moments will impact your life in the same way as giving birth, and we understand the difficulty in choosing where and how to give birth. You should make an informed decision and do what makes you comfortable and what feels right for you. For these reasons, we would like to share with you some of our favorite resources on natural birth, labor and birth, baby care, postpartum care, and breastfeeding. We have also added a few resources on the art of photography and nutrition because we want you to know us and feel comfortable with us before you even come in for your first visit!
