how it works
Unique packages to serve everyone -
because families come in all shapes & sizes and the traditional medical system does not
Bridge care packages can include in-person and/or video sessions at a frequency that ensures you feel well-informed, supported and prepared.
Mama Care
Mamas-to-be need the most information and the most support, which Brooke delivers with warmth, attention, and enthusiasm. She brings the wisdom of nearly 1500 births to each session. Her unusually broad training - from western medicine to non-traditional holistic practices - informs each and every wisdom driven interaction. She’d be honored to support your journey.
Papa Care
Papas are often overlooked in the process of preparing for the arrival of a newborn. Yes, the baby is growing inside the mama and that is a wild and demanding reality. But papas are going through an equally taxing, confusing, and challenging transition too. Brooke cherishes the opportunity to advise, encourage and celebrate the arrival to fatherhood with you.
Partner Care
Brooke warmly welcomes all families into her practice. Any couple who is welcoming a new baby needs guidance and support. Families navigating adoption, surrogacy, or donor pregnancies have unique experiences and needs, which Brooke addresses with her inclusive, customized care.
Surrogate Care
Surrogacy is on the rise! And Brooke celebrates the journey to parenthood in all the ways it manifests. If you are a surrogate, you know your experience is really different than most mamas. Still, you need a care that embraces and supports your unique experience - which Brooke happily provides.
