You don’t have to go through this process alone.
Be informed and supported.
There is tremendous benefit to having experienced in-person reassurance and comforting during a miscarriage, termination, or stillbirth. When you are offered guidance and gain understanding of what is happening both physically and emotionally, it is possible to move through this experience with a sense of empowerment, reverence, and deep trust in yourself.
I provide compassionate, grounded support for families navigating the end of pregnancy, honouring both your body and your emotional journey.
Your Care and Support Options
Support is available for every stage. Care is tailored to your needs.
Pregnancy loss can happen at many stages, and each experience is deeply personal. Losses in the first and early second trimesters are often considered early pregnancy loss, while losses after 20 weeks are usually considered late pregnancy loss or stillbirth. There isn’t a strict line, as every journey is unique, and support can be tailored to your needs. Below are two general support options, and I’m also happy to create a custom care plan that honours your specific experience, regardless of the gestation.
Support for Early Pregnancy Loss
For early pregnancy loss or abortion, support is available at home or in a clinical setting. I offer gentle guidance on what to expect physically and emotionally throughout the process.
Care includes:
On-call support for questions, reassurance, and guidance
Assist with an End of Pregnancy Care & After-Care Plan that reflects your values
Recommendations for nourishing your body and emotional well-being before and after the loss
Ongoing phone, text, and email support is available for up to six weeks.
In-person support includes help with comfort measures, TENS machine use, and an optional reflexology session.
Fee Structure for Early Pregnancy Loss:
Phone support: Sliding scale $55–$250, including initial consultation and ongoing support. Current birth clients receive off-site support at no cost.
In-person support: $250 plus $55/hour, up to a maximum of $800, including consultation, presence during in-home care, ongoing support, and TENS machine use.
Flexible payment plans are always available to make this care accessible while honouring the experience.
Support for Late Pregnancy Loss
For families experiencing a pregnancy loss in the late second trimester or third trimester, I offer compassionate, continuous support during your birth and the weeks that follow. This can be a profoundly tender and complex experience, and I provide grounded, respectful presence as you move through birth, meet your baby, and navigate the days ahead.
Care includes:
Continuous on-call support and in-person presence during your birth process, providing comfort and steady guidance. (Includes TENS machine and reflexology, if desired.)
Assist with an End of Pregnancy Care & After-Care Plan that reflects your values
Emotional support is offered for you and your partner, holding space for grief, connection, and memory-making with your baby.
Recommendations for nourishing your body and emotional well-being during and after
Ongoing phone, text, and email support is available for up to six weeks.
Postpartum care includes 1 to 4 weekly visits, each including complementary reflexology to support your physical and emotional recovery.
Specialized support is available for full-term stillbirth (from 37 weeks onward), with care tailored to the unique needs of families at this stage.
Fee Structure for Later Pregnancy Loss / Stillbirth Support:
Sliding scale $1,200–$2,000, depending on the level of support desired.
Includes on-call support before, during, and after the birthing process, in-person support during the birth, up to 4 weekly postpartum 2-hour visits with complementary reflexology, ongoing phone, text, and email support for up to six weeks, and referrals to grief counsellors, bodyworkers, and other resources.
Flexible payment plans are available to make this care accessible while honouring the depth of this experience.
