Birth Doula

It may appear as if the only way for you to have a birth centered around your desires and vision is by controlling every little detail and being prepared for a battle.  But that's not the case, regardless of where you choose to give birth, you can create an experience that has you feeling seen, heard and respected every step of the way.  Yes, even when unexpected situations arise!​

​

While having a birth centered around you and your birth desires at a hospital is 100% possible, it also takes the most preparation as you will be navigating a system that primarily uses authority and coercion to support and encourage your labor's progress.

​

As a birth doula who supports autonomous birth regardless of location, I provide support in 3 areas: Mind, Body, & knowledge.​

​

Mind

Even if this is your first pregnancy and you've never given birth before your mind has been preparing for this moment your whole life.  It has been influenced by other's birth stories, births you've watched in movies and TV shows, and also by your experience navigating health care up to this point.

​

I use hypnosis to update & clear any blocks that may be limiting your access to power & possibilities as you navigate birth.

​

This looks like releasing any beliefs around body autonomy & authority.  As well as clearing feelings such as fear, anxiety, and overwhelm that are impacting your pregnancy journey.  Prepare to navigate birth FREE & CLEAR to make your birth desires a reality!

 

Body

In 40 weeks your body will undergo a rapid transformation as it grows your baby.  With that, your body is bound to feel things like aches & pains.  That doesn't mean you have to stay in pain the whole time!

​

Your doula packages include prenatal massages so aches and pains remain a thing of the past.  You will enter labor with well-rested muscles ready to experience contractions.

​

Knowledge

To experience an autonomous birth, it requires a knowledge of your birth options as well as what to expect.  At your prenatal visits, we'll cover creating a birth plan, practicing comfort measures & coping techniques to use during labor, as well as how to recover after birth.

​

How to know how many massage sessions or hypnosis sessions to include in your package?

​

I highly recommend your massage sessions mirror your appointments with your midwife or OB. Every 4 weeks from conception to week 28, biweekly from week 28 to week 36, and weekly from week 36 up to birth.  In total that may look like up to 15 massages.

​

I have found that 7 hypnosis sessions is the magic number to clear fears, stress, anxiety and concerns about navigating birth, pregnancy and postpartumm.
