Birth Support
When your day comes to enter into the labor process, I will be there to aid, serve and support you. This may be in coaching your companion or offering you the support myself or a combination so that the labor dance can go as smoothly as possible. I will be there to guide you through positions if needed by utilizing a variety of tools such as a rebozo or birth ball. Counter pressure points, and massage are also available anytime. Especially when holding tension. Montra's words of positivity and positive mental imagery can be used as a tool to get you to focus your birth energy and not on the intense feelings and sensations that may be present. Being full of nutrition and hydration is key during labor and I will make sure you maintain both. A doula's role in labor and delivery is to serve, advocate, support and maintain a proper birth atmosphere. Full of peace and love and void of interruptions.
Postpartum in-home visits.
(Basic and Deluxe package only.)
Includes but are not limited to housekeeping where desired, easy nutritious snack preparation, and nanny care for baby. Giving you the opportunity to nap, shower, read or just relax. I also provide herbal foot soaks during this visit so that mom can just melt and meditate. If you are drawn to just visit, let me serve you with my listening ear and aid where I am able. This time is for you!
