Pregnancy, childbirth, parenting – what big and daunting topics!

I take my role as a resource very seriously. It can be hard to navigate all the subjective articles and advice about pregnancy that flood the internet. I am here to help you wade through it. I help my clients find fact based research and recommendations. I am happy to do research with or for you, on any topic you may be curious about.

I also have a small lending library of books that I personally own, which I make available to my clients. Just ask me about one of the titles below and I will bring it to our first prenatal appointment!
