*Curating Birth Space
With my background as a visual creative and stylist, I am able to help you design your ideal birthing space not only in a way that will support you mentally and spiritually but also physically. Your environment is the biggest influence on your birth so we will create a space that is completely reflective of what you envision as peace, relaxation and a place of surrender.
