Pregnancy, and Beyond
All mothers are unique
We join you on your path to parenthood by offering education and support for a positive and healthy pregnancy and birth. We also provide relaxation support to help new mothers and moms-to-be cope with any physical, mental, and emotional challenges they may experience.
Prenatal Education & Support
- Guidance, education, and support around birth preferences: You’ll discover your ideal birth experience with your doula’s expert guidance, education and support.
- Creating a personalized birth plan: Head into the big day with confidence. Your doula will help you create an informed and personalized plan so you can feel prepared for what’s to come.
- Hands-on exercises: Ease the physical strain of pregnancy, and prepare your body for birth.
- Reiki: Easing and decreasing stress and anxiety, reiki brings your body back into energetic alignment using this ancient, non-invasive practice. Read more about Reiki on our blog.
- Reflexology: Activating pressure points on the feet that correspond to the systems in the body, reflexology is helpful in reducing stress and anxiety and harmonizing your bodily systems. Reflexology can help relieve pregnancy symptoms such as swelling and lack of sleep, help heal pain and stress throughout the body, and promote a healthier well being.
- Natural remedies and guidelines: Reduce the discomfort of nausea, fatigue, and swelling. Your doula will recommend safe and effective natural treatments for common pregnancy issues.
Continuous Care & Birthing Support
Whether you’re planning to give birth in a hospital or at home, our doulas are with you every step of the way, providing continuous care and support on the big day.
With your birth doula on your team, you’ll gain:
- Physical and emotional support during early-active labor to help you decide when to go to the hospital.
- Continuous care during labor, including using your desired comfort measures, e.g. massage, aromatherapy, hot-and-cold therapy, music, guided meditation, Reiki, and Reflexology. We’re here to help you feel as comfortable, safe, and cared for as possible.
- Help for both you and your partner so you both of you can stay balanced, grounded, and empowered leading up to and throughout labor and delivery. Unlike hospital staff, your doula is there for you and you alone; we have no other mothers to look after when you’re delivering. We provide continuous care and support until your baby is safely in your arms.
It Takes a Village
In previous eras, pregnant women and their families had the support of their entire communities. Today, we are often geographically separated from our families and disconnected from our communities. At Holistic Family Doulas we want to create a bridge between the conveniences of the modern world and the interpersonal connections of forgotten eras. We seek to provide a safe, relaxing, and nurturing experience for women and their families. Whether you’re pregnant and preparing for birth or navigating the challenges of infertility, we’ll be your village.
