Childbirth Education
I teach childbirth education in my one-on-one prenatal visits in the privacy of your own home. I like to have a space where parents feel comfortable and relaxed to ask questions as I teach you about the birth process and help you understand the procedures what to expect in labor and delivery.
Do you teach my partner comfort measures for early pain coping techniques until you arrive?
Yes, in my second prenatal visit I give hands on skills to the partner pain coping skills, such as positioning, massage, birth ball positions, TENS unit use, music, and other relaxation techniques. Even after I arrive, I will include dad and help him be an active participant. He knows you better than I do and so he is a vital part of the process in helping mom feel safe and relaxed to let her body do what it needs to do during the birthing process. I will equip him with comfort measures, so he feels needed. He is an important role in the whole birthing process too.
VBAC Birth Doula
I have been extremely successful in helping families successfully deliver after a cesarean delivery. I have extensive knowledge in maternal positioning and stretches to help guide baby in a favorable position for a vaginal delivery and to open up the pelvis and help baby move through the birth canal.
High Risk Pregnancy
​I have supported families or personally experienced high risk pregnancies with Type I and Type II gestational diabetes, cholestasis, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, high blood pressure, premature birth, IVF and other fertility assisted pregnancies, pregnancy after miscarriage or stillbirth, twins pregnancies and deliveries, and VBAC deliveries.
