Birth Preparation Visit

This mini package offers a three-hour visit to help prepare you for labor and birth and access to my lending library. 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 to set the tone for your birth space
  • Helpful positions for pregnancy and labor from Spinning Babies
  • Foot reflexology massage
  • ​Rebozo use
  • Relaxation/visualization exercises
  • Birth Words workshop (see below)
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.)

Total fee: $100

Birth Words Workshop 

Words are powerful! During this 90-minute 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.​
