Prenatal Counseling

Prenatal counseling sessions are individual 2 hour sessions where I will provide education and resources on the prenatal, birth, and postpartum time, as well as answer any questions you may have. They are designed to be individually suited to your needs. The best way to have an empowered birth is to educate, educate, educate yourself beforehand! :-)

Topics typically include the some or all of the following: 

Nutrition in Pregnancy

How to prepare your body and mind for birth
How to create and use a birth plan

Holistic stages of labor

Healthy birth practices

Common interventions - risks, benefits, and how to avoid them if desired.

Relaxation/Grounding techniques for labor (and anytime!)

Hypnosis for childbirth

Positions for labor and birth

Comfort techniques for labor and birth (great for daddies/other support people!)

Breastfeeding

Infant massage

Infant care
Vaccinations

Postpartum issues

...and more!

These private classes would be great for couples who are not sure they want a doula but still want the one-on-one advice/support/wisdom from a doula in preparing for birth. If you do decide to hire me as your doula after taking the class(es), the cost would be subtracted from my doula package price.

Price: $80/2 hour counseling session
