Queer & Trans Support

Celebrating identity and affirming perinatal comforts

You’re perfectly unique, and so is your perinatal journey. Forget the mainstream options, and find support from someone who honors your preferred gender and sexuality.

Every birthing person deserves thoughtful, tailored support. Period.

Whether you’re thinking about starting a family, navigating a loss, preparing your body for labor, or are in the throws of postpartum, you need loving direction and advocacy from someone who truly understands.

Queer & Trans families sometimes need a little extra planning when it comes to choosing perinatal support that’s educated in their specific lifestyle, and a place where safety and respect are at the forefront.

In our highly gendered medical system, giving birth can be a frustrating process as a Queer or Trans individual. Your support person will step in to be your advocate and your expert, so you always feel safe and have someone to turn to.

You are seen and heard here.

No one understands you like we do. And no one advocates harder for you. Get the support you need, and let us do the rest.

PICTURE YOUR PERINATAL EXPERIENCE:

  •  Laboring confidently, knowing you’re in a safe place
  • Working with providers who respect your choices and value your uniqueness
  • Always having someone there to answer your questions
  • Working with your body, instead of against it
  • Going home, knowing you’re supported there too
  • Someone else washing your dishes, and waking up to hot coffee you didn’t have to make

Have it all when you partner with us!
