In Home Support
For Families in Berlin & Beyond
Each birthing person, birth, and recovery is unique. There are a lot of options during labor and in parenting. That is why connecting to and trusting your intuition and learning from that standpoint is important.
Keatyn was able to provide virtual information sessions prior to delivery and, even more importantly, was able to provide us with resources in Berlin that have been invaluable in both my and mu sons health.
Happy Families
PERSONALIZED PRENATAL EDUCATION
Having personalized prenatal preparation means the time is dedicated to your story, questions, concerns and goals. This space can be used to prepare for birth, talk about “what nobody tells you” about postpartum, discuss safe sleeping options, or process your choices for feeding baby.
I help you with
- A deeper dive into the process of birth and the complex journey your baby will be navigating through
- Detailed instruction for exercises and poses to practice in pregnancy and labor, honest preparation for postpartum
- Guidance and tips for partners to play an active, empowered role during labor and along the postpartum healing journey
- Access to my Client Folder which is full of evidence based information, local referrals, tips, tricks and day-of birth guides
Perhaps you took a birth preparation class and you left with unanswered questions. Or the class did not dive into specific concerns or questions of yours. Maybe this is your second or third babe and you just want a refresher without having to give up a whole weekend!
Meetings are held in the comfort of your home, virtually or in-person, +partner if applicable, and last 1.5-2hours.
