Does prenatal care feel like a maze? Do you feel prepared to give birth? Do you feel prepared to be a parent? Do you feel like you are missing something critical?
Are you wanting more than what you have been receiving in 15 minute prenatal visits?
Do not let yourself experience preventable complications, unnecessary interventions, or find yourself completely depleted with a new baby, looking back and wondering, "how could it all have been better? How could it all have been easier?" Coaching sessions and targeted programs with Lucy take it to the next level beyond routine obstetric care and basic childbirth education.
"Lucy has created a new template and is setting such a high bar for what women's healthcare and maternal support can and should look like."

I was a midwife before I had my own children, and still it was hard.
Laboring, giving birth, breastfeeding, newborn care, making parenting choices—all of it.
Over the past 16 years, I've cared for thousands of families—from large New York City hospitals to attending water births in Vermont. As a Yale-trained, hospital-based midwife and clinical instructor for resident physicians, I am well-versed in modern obstetrics. My clients appreciate that I blend my medical background with a passion for holistic care.
Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all guidebook on how to do it all! If you are looking to demystify the process and to help you to thrive along your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, you have come to the right place!
Customized nutrition and supplement recommendations for you and your growing baby.
Guidance on mindfulness, movement, holistic mood support, and stress reduction.
Stepwise approach on how to physically, mentally, and logistically prepare for birth.
Crucial planning for postpartum. Plus time-tested ways to prevent maternal depletion.
Choose from the Natal Nine program; the "Prepare for Birth" package; or individual coaching sessions. Pick your preferred method of working together below and let's get started!
Prepare for Birth Package
Three coaching sessions to support you as you mentally, physically, and logistically prepare for birth. Sessions are accompanied by guides on Labor and Birth, Partner Support, Birth Wishes, and much more! Enter into birth feeling empowered and confident!
Natal Nine Program
Signature program that includes nine coaching sessions from first trimester through six weeks postpartum. Each session includes personalized recommendations and self-paced learning to help you have your healthiest pregnancy, the birth you desire, and a restorative postpartum.
Single Coaching Sessions
Just one 60-minute coaching session can be a game changer! Sessions are centered around topics such as nutrition, weaning, miscarriage support, holistic thyroid support, mood support, birth story listening, prevention of maternal depletion, and so much more.
You're 3 steps away from transforming your pregnancy, birth, and posptartum experience.

Pick from a single coaching session, the "Prepare for Birth" package, or the comprehensive "Natal Nine" program. Coming soon, there will be a holistic postpartum care self-paced course!
Then we get started!
As soon as you purchase a package, you will create your "Client Portal". From the portal you can schedule your virtual session. The first step we take is to complete a comprehensive review of your medical history, lab work, pregnancy course, concerns, current stress, nutrition, movement, etc. What is important to you? How do you envision your pregnancy, birth and postpartum?
And finally, you will receive a personalized roadmap
Mad River Birth and Wellness
A new paradigm for pregnancy care.
The name "Mad River Birth and Wellness" comes from the beautiful valley where I live with my family in Vermont. On a side note, my second baby was born so quickly, he was nearly born on the banks of the Mad River!
I started Mad River Birth and Wellness in order to create a critical added layer to pregnancy care. I know that most people are in dire need of more guidance, preparation, and heart-centered support.
