Physical comfort, concretely: counter-pressure for back labor, position changes to help things progress, breathing and pacing, a rebozo for movement and support, heat, the shower, the birth ball. Small, hands-on things that add up over many hours.
Informed decisions, not advocacy against your team. When something comes up, I help you slow down, ask the questions, and understand the real options and trade-offs - I never speak for you and I never argue with your clinicians. That boundary is not a limitation; it is what keeps trust intact on every side of the room.
