Chorion Birth
Nurture & Protect
BIRTH ￮ EDUCATION ￮ LACTATION
Physically, the chorion is the second layer of the placenta that nurtures and protects the baby.
Conceptually, it represents the belief that every structure needs two layers of support, such as family being bolstered by a wider community, or birthing parents being supported by their team in the birth and postpartum space.
This philosophy reflects the kind of support I believe people deserve during pregnancy and birth: both personal and communal, practical and emotional.
Chorion Birth is rooted in the idea that no one should navigate this transition alone.
A soft landing with evidence based information
This philosophy reflects the support I believe people deserve in pregnancy and birth: personal and communal, practical and emotional.
Pregnancy and birth are threshold spaces — not just into parenthood, but into a new relationship with your body and your agency.
My work is grounded in physiology and evidence, with room for intuition, humor, and ritual when it’s supportive. I offer childbirth education and birth support for people who want clear information, steady presence, and room to trust themselves.
You might arrive with a plan. You might arrive with questions. You might arrive somewhere in between.
All of it is welcome here.

A strategy session to assess whether your provider’s approach matches your birth values and to help you advocate effectively.

No. This kind of personalized support is for anyone who wants respectful care, clear consent, and aligned decision making—medicated, unmedicated, planned cesarean, VBAC, all of it.

While I am a certified lactation counselor (CLC) I currently do not offer stand alone lactation support. However, it is a passion of mine and I love supporting families with their feeding goals.
-
Yes—childbirth education helps you understand your options and prepare mentally and physically, while a doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and advocacy support during labor and birth. Many families choose both for the most comprehensive support.
-
Yes. All classes and resources are grounded in current evidence, informed consent, and real-world hospital practices—while still honoring intuition, flexibility, and personal values
-
Yes. Support is not limited to one “type” of birth. I work with hospital, birth center, and home birth plans—including epidurals, inductions, and planned cesareans—using an advocacy-first, evidence-based approach.
