Pastoral care for pregnancy
Pregnancy is a time of enormous personal transformation. Your life, body, and spirit are rapidly growing and evolving to make space for new life.
As a perinatal chaplain, I support women in pregnancy and preparing for postpartum. Depending on your needs, support may look like:
Spiritual and emotional support as you navigate the joys and challenges of pregnancy
A space to reflect on your transition to motherhood and what it means for your identity
Thoughtful conversation and discernment around maternity leave, vocation, or possible career changes
A supportive and non-judgmental place to talk through your fears and concerns about birth, parenting, or changes to your life and relationships
Support processing medical decisions, unexpected diagnoses, or high-risk classification
Support in connecting with your baby and your body
A spiritual conversation partner as you prepare for labor, birth, and postpartum
Pastoral care sessions for pregnancy are private, confidential 60-minute virtual meetings. You may choose to meet for a single session or pursue ongoing support as needed throughout your pregnancy.
