Infant and Pregnancy Loss Support

  • For those who are experiencing, or who have experienced, the loss of a baby in any stage of conception, pregnancy, birth, or postpartum.

    In all cases, I approach this time with the deepest levels of sympathy and respect for you and your loved ones.

  • I will provide emotional support and space to process, discuss, and grieve. I am here to listen, rather than solve. I am here for you to feel supported and heard, and help to advocate for you and your family’s needs as you navigate this difficult time.

    I will also gladly help by finding and aiding with information and resources you may need, such as:

    Mental health and/or Grief support

    Memory making options

    Processing activities for other children in the family

    Arrangements or other services.

    Photography services are available for any and all cases, including stillbirths.

  • All services are by donation.
