As of November 7th, I will be on leave due to major surgery on November 8th. Recovery can be 3-6+ months. I will be coming back virtually around 6 weeks post surgery, but may be reachable by email or text prior to that. Please reach out, but know it may take longer for me to return messages between November 7th and December 6th. If you need in person support, Please see The Birthwork Referrals page.
