Designed by labor nurse and college professor, Denise Heisler, RN, BSN. Our services are designed to help your body and mind to be as prepared for labor as possible. Our hope is that you learn to surrender to the process of opening.
We also care deeply about providing education concerning common hospital interventions and procedures; discussing when they are neccesary and when it may be safe to decline them.
