Birth Planning Visit - $75

This mini package offers a two-hour visit to help prepare you for labor and birth and access to my lending library (see list of titles below). At the visit, we'll discuss your birth preferences and practice several comfort measures for use during labor, such as:
  • Creating a comfortable birth environment
  • Massage and comforting touch
  • Music therapy
  • Helpful positions for labor
  • Aromatherapy
  • Rebozo use
  • Relaxation/visualization exercises
By the end of the visit, you'll be equipped with several tools to employ during labor. (Please note, this package does not include by-your-side labor support. See the complete package, above, for details about a comprehensive package.)

Birth Words Workshop - $40 

​Words are powerful! During this one-hour workshop, we'll review the characteristics of language that positively impacts the birth space. I'll draw on my background in Applied Linguistics and my studies of numerous birth stories to help you use and receive language for good. You and your support person will practice using language that:
  • Sets a positive tone in your birth environment
  • Sways a negative tone, and
  • Encourages the laboring mother to produce and receive positive language.
For more information on my work in this area, see all of my blog posts marked with the "Birth Words" category tag.
