Doula Services

Childbirth is commonly thought of as a very painful, long and fearful event for most women. C-sections are common, as is the use of epidurals to get through the birthing process. It doesn't have to be that way. Childbirth is life's most beautiful and natural experience, and one that new mothers and their partners should enjoy as nature intended.

With the natural childbirth course HypnoBirthing, I can help you prepare for what is supposed to be one of the most natural, incredible experiences of your life.

Combining my interests in natural childbirth and my qualifications as a Registered Massage Therapist and Doula, I provide massage therapy for pregnant women leading up to the birthing and labour support using massage and HypnoBirthing techniques during the birthing experience. It makes for a most memorable and all natural childbirth, which you and your baby will forever appreciate.

What to expect:

- 2-3 visits 1-2 months before the due date including:
- Instructions on relaxation techniques using HypnoBirthing
- Assistance in developing your birth plan
- Details on what to expect during your birthing experience
- Attendance at your birthing and 2 to 4 hours after the birth
- Receipt for $250.00 of massage therapy which may be claimed on your insurance

Added Feature: When your baby is born, you may also request a demo in baby massage!

Massage therapy in the labour room There is evidence that massage therapy through the labour and birthing process helps to: * decrease pain in all stages of labour * reduce muscular tension which unnecessarily prolongs labour * increase the quality of your experience

I use hypoallergenic scent-free lotions and the Pregnancy Body Support System for maximum comfort.
