Perinatal health coaching is a supportive, personalized approach to the pregnancy and early parenting journey. It includes:

Health education on pregnancy, postpartum recovery, infant care, and development

Emotional support for the psychological changes that come with becoming a parent

Resources and referrals to help you find the right support for your needs

You don’t need a diagnosis to need help. Coaching can reduce anxiety, build confidence, and help you feel more grounded in the middle of big changes.

Absolutely. I work with:

Single parents

LGBTQ+ families

Adoptive and foster parents

Platonic co-parents

Families navigating surrogacy or IVF

Anyone raising (or expecting to raise) a child with love and intention

All families are welcome here.

When my first child was born, the care we received changed me forever. Our midwives weren’t just clinically skilled—they were steady, respectful, and present. They believed in us in a way that felt uniquely powerful- and maybe we were also uniquely receptive in that season. Ever since, I have been enamored of the wonder and empowering impact that birth can confer to those who are able to receive the beautiful lessons that are available to them. Helping a birthing family feels like getting to see the foundation of a home be created. There is a feeling of legacy, destiny, and self-determination all comingling- and it is a magical sight to behold.

It’s a fair question—and even if people don’t say it out loud, I imagine some are wondering. So let’s talk about it. I’m not afraid of honest conversations. 🙂

I’ve never given birth. And I’ll never pretend to know exactly what it’s like. But for over 15 years, I’ve supported those who have—in hospital rooms, homes, and the vulnerable in-between moments. I bring clinical training, deep listening, and a lot of respect to every visit.

If someone needs a hip replacement, we don’t expect their surgeon to have had one too. The best care comes from expertise, empathy, and experience, not just shared life events. While my gender might give some clients pause, I believe it can also be a meaningful asset:

✔ Father Engagement

Dads often feel sidelined in prenatal care. I work to actively include them, challenge outdated norms, and help fathers feel empowered and informed—right from the start. It’s important to me that they feel like equal partners in the parenting journey.

✔ Fresh Perspective

Because I haven’t been through birth myself, I don’t project my story onto yours. I show up curious, not assuming. My job is to understand your experience, not compare it to mine—and that helps me stay focused on what you need most.

✔ Less Judgment

Many clients say they feel more relaxed with a male coach. They believe me when I say I won’t care if your hair’s a mess or the house is chaotic. I’m not here to judge you. I’m here to offer professional, compassionate support— especially on those difficult days.

That’s actually one of the most common feelings to have when expanding your family. Parenthood doesn’t come with a roadmap, and sometimes the greatest need is to have space to pause and sort through the swirl.

You don’t need a clear goal to begin coaching. The fact that you made it to my website shows that you feel you could benefit from support. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, help name what’s going on beneath the surface, and offer guidance that is grounded in both lived experience and professional insight.

Some sessions are practical (“What if I don’t want an epidural?”), other are emotional (“Why do I feed so alone even when I’m not?”), and most are both. It’s OK to show up unsure- that’s what this space is for.

There are many great coaches out there, but here’s what sets my practice apart:

Infant Mental Health

I’m endorsed by the Pennsylvania Association for Infant Mental Health (PA-AIMH), a distinction held by fewer than 100 professionals in the state. The growing field of Infant Mental Health recognizes that babies have real emotional needs, too. I help parents support early bonding and lay the foundation for lifelong mental health, starting from day one.

Long-Term Relationship

Many perinatal coaches focus on a single topic, like sleep or lactation. I offer support across the full spectrum of early parenthood, from pregnancy through your child’s second birthday. That means you don’t have to start over with someone new when your needs shift.

Clinical Expertise

With 15+ years in maternal-child health, I know what’s normal, what’s concerning, and what’s just messy human life. I’ve worked in hospitals and homes, with NICU babies, grieving families, and everything in between. I also have specialized training in car seat safety, sleep safety, and breastfeeding.

Holistic Care

You’re more than a body, and your baby is more than a checklist of milestones. I approach parenthood as a whole-person experience- blending physical health, emotional wellbeing, and the inner work of becoming a parent. We'll talk about fears, identity shifts, and what it means to raise a child in this world.
