Our clients receive comprehensive prenatal education to prepare and empower them for their appointments with their medical providers as well as, during their labor and delivery journey. From childbirth techniques to emotional support strategies, we equip them with the knowledge and confidence needed to navigate this transformative experience with strength and peace of mind.
Experiencing the birth journey you desire is our priority. We collaborate closely with our doula clients to craft personalized birth plans tailored to their preferences and desires for labor and delivery. Through thoughtful discussion and careful consideration of their goals and concerns, we ensure that their birth plan reflects their unique vision and helps guide them through this special moment with clarity and confidence.
We offer tailored training sessions to our doula clients, focusing on comfort measures and labor positioning to prepare them comprehensively for labor and delivery. Through interactive sessions, we equip them with practical techniques and strategies to help effectively, foster comfort and prevent injury.
We recognize the invaluable role partners play in the birth journey. We ensure that those incorporating partners into their experience are fully integrated into all aspects of our doula client trainings, empowering them to provide meaningful support before, during, and after labor and delivery. Through inclusive and interactive sessions, partners learn essential techniques, gain confidence, and strengthen their bond with the birthing individual, ensuring a unified and supportive team approach to welcoming their new arrival.
Our doula clients have the unique experience of working with practitioners certified as doulas AND licensed in physical therapy. Our doulas are able to train clients in preparing their joints and muscles for the rigorous experience of labor and delivery. We also provide clients with a tailored program to ensure that their body is physically ready for the demands of their big day.
For those new or experienced with delivery, we ensure that our clients are prepared with safe pushing techniques to assist with the prevention of injuries to the belly and pelvic areas. Whether delivering with or without medication, these skills will prove beneficial to protect these delicate areas.
