Birthing

HypnoBirthing®, the Mongan Method
HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing. This amazing program teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner. Using self-hypnosis techniques allows women to access their natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier, more comfortable birthing. Emphasis is placed on pregnancy and childbirth, as well as on pre-birth parenting and the consciousness of the pre-born baby. As a birthing method, HypnoBirthing® is as new as tomorrow and as old as ancient times. It is presented in a series of five, 2 1/2-hour classes. Fee - $400.

Birth Doula
The word "doula" comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves" and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period. As your birth doula, I will help you prepare your birthplan, communicate with care providers, work with you and your partner to prepare for birth. My sole responsibility is mother and partner's emotional well being. Contract includes: prenatal visit, support during active labor and delivery, time post delivery and a postpartum visit in addition to email and phone support until time of labor. Fee - $550 - 1050.

Conscious Beginnings
These classes are designed to support conscious conception, birth and life for moms to be, their partners and the families they are building. Pregnancy is a time of profound spiritual awakening. With an open heart, mind and body, the intuitive wisdom within each of us is accessible. The exploration of breath awareness, yoga postures, comfort measures, meditation & visualization will be used to hone in our natural skills to prepare our bodies for pregnancy, for addressing the challenges of pregnancy, labor & deliver and beyond pregnancy into parenthood. Through creative imagination we will work to enhance the connections of moms, their partners and babies. See calendar for scheduled classes.

Green Babies, Green Families
Let’s talk about making healthy green choices for pregnancy, childbirth and baby care.
