We assist parents in experiencing the childbirth process as memorable and positive. We meet with the mom/couple two or three times during pregnancy to discuss details for the delivery and to help develop a birth plan. We are available, as Childbirth Educators, we teach Childbirth classes in classroom or private settings. During early labor, we meet with the mom/coach in the comfort of their home and go with them to the hospital for the remainder of the labor and delivery. We provide emotional, educational, and physical support by addressing each mother's needs. We will help guide the coach to care for the laboring mom, providing instruction in non-medical techniques for pain relief, such as: massage, aromatherapy, relaxation, visualization, breathing techniques and labor positions to enhance and facilitate the labor process.
We will help the mom in having a non-medicated birth, if she desires. If medication and/or an epidural is requested, We will support the mom in her choices, to have the birth experience that she wants. We remain throughout the delivery, and follow-up with assistance in breastfeeding, postpartum education, and if requested we will help with a photographic record of the event.
