Every birthing person has the right to a Trial of Labor. Our VBAC support is geared towards avoiding an unnecessary repeat cesarean birth, providing evidence-based statistics and preparation for a family centered cesarean if a trial of labor is not possible.

High Risk  Support

Meet Baby Zara

Nikita provided a comprehensive package of emotional, mental and physical support combined with pregnancy/childbirth education. I felt much more at ease towards the end of my pregnancy and had a better understanding of what to expect at my doctor appointments and L&D.
