Areas of Support Expertise
Birth Companioning
We protect birth environments so you are free to experience enhanced levels of oxytocin and endorphins which will facilitate labor progression and postpartum bonding. We seek to mitigate emotional distress and address anything that could hinder the hormonal progression of labor.
We offer specialized care for survivors of sexual abuse and seek to create a safe and supportive birthing environment tailored to individual needs. Our goal is to help you navigate the complexities of childbirth with greater confidence and emotional well-being.
Transitional Guidance
For transition, we will be present with proven remedies for fatigue during transition. If desired, we can help you find the right position for the baby’s postural adjustments through the pelvis.
We offer three distinct hip pressure techniques for the descent—these are a lifesaver!
We trust the innate wisdom of the fetal ejection reflex and the mother’s pushing urges; let us help you intuitively choose the pushing method for you whether you have an early pushing urge, feel drawn to self-directed pushing, or choose not to push and try the rest breathing technique.
Childbirth Education and Birth Plan Creation
Let us help you craft a comprehensive birth plan that reflects your preferences for pain management, labor positions, and medical interventions.
We’ll assist you in articulating your desires clearly and effectively, ensuring that your birth plan is a valuable tool for communicating with healthcare providers.
Understand the stages of labor, coping strategies, and what to expect so you can make informed decisions about options, including medical interventions.
Labor Easement
As specialists in optimizing fetal engagement, we guide toward strategic maternal positioning to prevent prolonged early labor and mitigate preventable cervical and soft tissue disorders, including anterior cervical lip.
By aligning the maternal and fetal spines vertically, utilizing abdominal lift techniques, and adjusting pelvic positioning through various movements and positions, we guide our clients toward a gentler delivery.
