Together we will navigate prenatal testing, birth plan development, informed consent, and how to understand the maternity care system. I will help you and your partner build confidence so that you can feel prepared and excited for your birth experience. I will provide information and resources on advanced comfort measures to help you achieve optimal maternal and fetal positioning, significantly reduce sensations of pain and eliminate the fear-tension-pain cycle, and find comfortable, natural ways to make early and active labor easier (just to name a few). I will also provide your partner with practical tips and tools to confidently support you for the remainder of your pregnancy as well as during birth. You will be gifted a rebozo and you and your partner will learn lots of great rebozo techniques for pregnancy and labor.
