Due to me expecting in March of 2010, I am no longer offering my Labor Doula Services. However, if you contact me, I do have a list of wonderful women that I do recommend.
I am currently offering the following services:
- Private Childbirth Class Series
- Private Breastfeeding 101 Classes
- The Quicky Childbirth Class
Private Childbirth Classes
These classes can be taught in the convenience and privacy of your own home at the time of your choosing. These classes can be customized to reflect your own personal situation. Childbirth classes prepare you for the rite of passage into parenthood. This preparation is not entirely about facts and numbers, it is also about the intangible beliefs that you have regarding birth. Childbirth classes give you an opportunity to explore pain-coping methods *before* you go into labor. Pain is an inevitable part of childbirth, but there is a difference between pain and suffering. We will cover the full variety of options that you have regarding care-providers, place of birth, medical and non-medical options, and how to determine what is best for you and your family. We will also cover pre-natal and post-natal care of both mother and baby. These classes are most easily divided into 4 classes each 3 hours long.
Private Breastfeeding Classes
Be fully prepared for breastfeeding. Breastfeeding may be natural, but it is a learned art. We will cover questions like: Is my baby getting enough to eat? What about going back to work? What about formula? How do I do this? What if it hurts? What about being in public? Where do I go if I need more help? This class normally is 3 hours long.
The Quicky Childbirth Class
This class is exclusively for parents past 37 weeks or for parents that have done this before and just need a review. This class is held once for 4-5 hours.
