As your doula I am here to help you in making informed decisions and to journey through pregnancy and birth trusting your intuition and feeling safe and empowered.
Every woman, baby and birth are different, and only you know what is best for you. As your doula I am here to help you to educate yourself and to lean into your intuition. I will support you in making informed decisions so that you go through pregnancy and birth feeling safe and empowered! If you have been giving birth before we will talk about your experience and what kind of support you (and your partner) need this time around.
What to expect
My full focus is on supporting you. Throughout your pregnancy we will get to know each other and our sessions will be designed to meet your needs.
During labor and birth I will assist you with natural pain relieving techniques and be with you through every contraction. I will support your partner in supporting you, so that they will feel safe and involved in the experience. I will be by your side through the entirety of your birth and only leave the room if you ask me to. After your baby is born, I will stay for as long as you need and leave once you and your family feel ready to be on your own.
We will cover
Physiological birth
Hormones and the importance of creating a calm birthing environment
Creating an open birth plan
Your options for pain relief, both natural and medical
How to use movements during labor and birth
The importance of breath
How your partner can support you physically and mentally
Rebozo, acupressure and pressure points to be used during labor in order to ground you and support the natural flow of birth
Meditation and visualization during pregnancy and birth
The fourth trimester; what to expect and how to prepare
… and much more, all depending on your individual need
“A woman’s birth experience is not something that just happens to her and then it’s over. A woman’s birth experience is about who she is, it’s about who she becomes, it defines her, it unmakes her, and it re-makes her, it unravels her, and puts her together again”
Hannah Dahlen
Doula support for pregnancy, birth and postpartum
Support through pregnancy and birth and in the time after birth. We will have six meetings, five during pregnancy and two after birth, which includes a closing of the bones postpartum ceremony. You can reach me day and night from week 37 and until birth starts. I will support you through your birth and once your baby is born and you feel safe being alone, I will leave. You can reach me by phone in the first 10 days after the birth.
Our sessions will take place in your home or in nature, if you prefer. I will plan our meetings so they match your specific needs.
One of our sessions is nurturing treatment for you which will include rebozo massage, deep relaxation and acupressure. All of this to calm down your nervous system and get your body and mind ready for birth.
Doula support for pregnancy and postpartum
Includes five meetings, four during pregnancy and one after birth. We will focus on preparing you (and your partner) for birth. The aim is so make you feel ready and empowered for birth and motherhood.
Our last session before your birth is a nurturing treatment for you which will include rebozo massage, deep relaxation and acupressure. All of this to calm your nervous system and get your body and mind ready for birth.
I will not be there for the birth but meet you once you have settled with your newborn baby. We will talk about your experience giving birth and about the themes that are taking up space now that you are postpartum.
