Hej baby’s philosophy
How we are heard, supported, and cared for throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can profoundly impact our lives, allowing us to emerge from our birth experiences with a whole and empowered spirit.
My support is holistic, which means blending modern knowledge, ancient wisdom, and a deep, personal connection with each family, ensuring that every journey is respected, nurtured, and supported.
