What You’ll Get with Birth Coaching
Clarity & Confidence in Your Birth Preferences
Together, we’ll explore your birth preferences in-depth, allowing you to clarify your desires and what you hope for during labor. I’ll help you create a flexible plan that reflects your values, from your birth environment to any interventions or comforts you’d like, so you feel confident and empowered to move forward with your choices.Learn to Advocate and Communicate with Your Birth Team
Navigating a hospital or birthing center environment can feel overwhelming, but I’ll help you learn how to confidently advocate for yourself and communicate with your birth team. We’ll work on expressing your needs clearly, asking the right questions, and standing firm in your choices, ensuring you feel heard and supported every step of the way.Informed Decision-Making with the B.R.A.I.N. Method
The B.R.A.I.N. method (Benefits, Risks, Alternatives, Intuition, and Nothing) is a powerful tool for making informed decisions during labor. I’ll guide you in using this method to evaluate your options, empowering you to make choices based on knowledge, not fear, and ensuring your voice remains central to your birth experience.Hands-On Comfort Measures
Labor can be intense, but you’ll have the tools to manage it. I’ll teach you and your partner hands-on comfort measures like breathing techniques, counter-pressure, massage, and movement, so you feel physically supported and empowered to handle the intensity of labor, no matter how it unfolds.Rewriting Your Birthing Narrative
Every person has their own unique story of birth, but sometimes those stories are shaped by past experiences, cultural expectations, or fears. Through birth coaching, we’ll explore and rewrite your personal birthing narrative, allowing you to step into this experience with a fresh perspective. Together, we’ll transform any limiting beliefs or fears into empowerment, creating a birth story you can feel proud of, no matter how the journey unfolds.Connecting to Your Intuition and Body
Birth is a deeply physical and intuitive process, and I’ll help you tap into both. We’ll focus on reconnecting with your body’s natural rhythms and instincts, allowing you to trust your body’s wisdom. This deeper connection helps you move through labor with confidence and calm, tuning into the cues your body gives you, and allowing you to move through the experience with less fear and more trust in yourself.Emotional and Physical Support Preparation
In addition to practical tools, I’ll provide emotional and mental preparation to help you stay grounded, calm, and resilient throughout labor. We’ll work on managing stress, addressing any fears, and finding ways to relax and stay connected to your breath and body as you prepare for the physical demands of labor.A Personalized Approach
Every birth is as unique as you are. Through birth coaching, I offer a deeply personalized approach that respects your individuality and your specific needs. Whether you’re preparing for a hospital birth, a home birth, or anything in between, I’ll help you feel empowered, supported, and ready to navigate your journey with confidence and trust in your own strength. -
