HOLISTIC BIRTH SUPPORT

Holistic Birth Support is designed to assist you plan, and prepare your mind and body for and during birth as well as providing you with on-call support and guidance through labour and birth. It is a comprehensive service that is tailored to your unique circumstances, personal values, and aspirations for birth.

My vision is for you to feel safe, supported, and confident throughout your birth journey. With my guidance and presence, I will ensure that you will be a conscious and active participant in your birth. For this, we will work together to grow your knowledge and confidence throughout your pregnancy so you enter your labour grounded and centered.

Holistic Birth Support includes:

  • Prenatal sessions

  • On-call support during labour and birth

  • 1 massage therapy session

  • A postnatal visit

Prenatal Sessions

My sessions are Lamaze childbirth education-based. I’ll provide you with all the educational material including the booklet of the Australian edition ‘Preparing for Birth’. You’ll also have access to my book library.

During our prenatal meetings, we’ll be creating your Birth Map tailored to the type of birth you wish to have. We’ll be breaking down the process of physiological labour and the first hours of the birth of your baby to ensure bonding and breast/chestfeeding. You’ll walk away with lots of tools to encourage the onset of spontaneous labour and knowing that you and/or your partner are equipped and well supported. During your pregnancy, you’ll be able to call or message me for any questions or needs that may arise.

3  x 2hr prenatal sessions are included in addition to a 1.5 hr Massage Therapy treatment of your choice (Prenatal, Induction, or postnatal massage)

 

Labour and Birth Attendance

When you reach 37 weeks I’ll be on call 24 hrs a day until the day you go into labour and give birth. After the birth of your baby, I’ll be with you for up to 2 hrs ensuring your bathed, cared and held during this tender time. I’ll be there to make sure your partner is feeling the same way.

 

Postnatal Visit

When you are settled in your new life as a parent at home, soon after I’ll be coming to see you and we’ll be debriefing your birth experience. I’ll also assist you with any other resource that you might need reassuring or reinforcement. This is a 2 hrs visit at your house.

It is important that you choose the right Doula for you. I offer a no-obligation 30-minute introductory meeting in person or over video call to provide an opportunity to get to know each other and decide if we will make a good team. If the available appointment times don’t suit, drop me an email and we will arrange a time that works for both of us.
