Depending on circumstances (such as pandemic or other public safety crisis), there are times when services may only be available virtually or on a hybrid (virtual plus limited in person) basis.

In Person Service Area
(public-safety permitting)

My in person services are normally offered in and around San Francisco, CA on a mobile, in-home basis, meaning I offer my services at my clients' homes or offices, or, for Birth Doula services, that also includes the clients' chosen birthing locations. (Other locations may be available in special circumstances.). I also offer many of my services virtually (see further below).
Note: There may be travel charges to provide services in-person outside of San Francisco. Please see my Rates pages for details.

Benefits of In-Home
(when in person support is safe)

As a Birth Doula, I typically support my clients in person on a mobile, in-home basis. Offering all of my other in-person services on an in-home basis benefits my clients by allowing them to:

avoid the time, hassle, & expense of driving and parking,
use time and energy that for more rewarding activities (such as integration, rest, other self-care, family time, etc.), and
get a break from a computer or other electronic device

Virtual Services
(hybrid virtual & in-person may also be available)

As much as I love working with my clients in person, sometimes client preference makes virtual services more convenient/desirable, and/or public safety makes it a necessity. Luckily, most of my Birth & Well-Being support services are also available virtually!

Note: Massage / hands-on-bodywork services are only available in person, and in the event of a pandemic or other shelter-in-place circumstances, my hands-on bodywork / massage offerings will be suspended until authorities have lifted the public safety restrictions and declared it safe to return to normal in person practice.
