"Choose childbirth education classes that occur outside of the hospital setting as part of your preparation for birth. Although you will pay more for these classes, you are more likely to get exposure to a wider variety of viewpoints and choices, and more in-depth assistance in methods of coping with labor contractions. Although some hospital classes are good, many hospital-based classes are simply exercises in how to be a good, compliant patient and not question your treatment. Taking a non-hospital childbirth education class does not mean you have to commit yourself to birthing without pain meds, it just means that you will be choosing whether or not to use these with careful knowledge of their risks as well as their benefits, and it will give you non-drug options for coping too."

Women have always helped women give birth. Traditionally, laboring women were surrounded by family members and experienced women from the community. As childbirth became the domain of the medical profession and women moved into hospitals for birth, women lost their vital connection to one another during this time of intense physical, emotional and spiritual work.

Doulas understand the natural process of birth, respect it's spiritual, physical, and emotional aspects, and help facilitate the birth experience for parents, baby, and primary care providers.

The presence of a doula results in shorter labors, a reduced need for pain medication, and improved outcomes for both mother and baby. Nurses, nor doctors are avilable to provide this vital element of support during labor.

Comprehensive doula service includes at least two prenatal visits, A/V and book library, phone, email and on-call availability, labor & birth attendance, and a follow-up postpartum visit.

While the benefits of having a doula are enhanced by establishing a relationship early on during your pregnancy, it is not absolutely essential. Occasionally, I'm available right up until the last moment.

HYPNOBIRTHING® FERTILITY Sessions Take It Above and Beyond Chance!

Whatever odds they've given you this program will increase them. Choose to give yourself the best possible chance to have a baby. Expensive medical procedures like IVF are often limited or not covered at all by insurance. Recent studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Woman's Association and the journal Fertility and Sterility indicate that "infertile" women using hypnosis techniques have a 42% to 55% conception rate as compared to 20% with IVF alone.

Realize Your Dream!

Hypnosis is becoming one of the most sought-after approaches in fertility today. More than just visualization, this is a powerful tool that supports the entire fertility process (natural or medically assisted) for optimal results.
