What an absolutely phenomenal year!!! Thank you for your trust during your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences! I am beyond humbled and honored as I reflect on everything this year allowed me to experience!

2022 END OF YEAR RECAP

31 Births
- 10 Different Hospitals
- 2 Homebirths
- 2 Fully Virtual birth support + 1 Hybrid

38 Postpartum Families supported
- 3 Fully Virtual + 2 Hybrid

This would not be possible without your referrals, repeat clients who invite me to their families again and again, and an incredibly supportive birthing community! My colleagues truly elevate the profession and inspire me to grow.

Happiest Holidays and may the New Year be filled with abundant health!

From my grateful heart,

Giovanna
