Nova is a 32 year old native San Diegan. By nature, Nova is an intent listener and has a calming, meditative presence. She believes in enabling and empowering women during this special time in their lives so that the mother and her partner have a positive experience to remember. Nova supports all women whether they choose a medicated or unmedicated labor. In her eyes, there is no such thing as an unnatural childbirth experience. |
