  • Prenatal

    I start prenatal sessions with my clients from 25 weeks gestation. This involves 4 sessions at your home where we will explore:

    1. Reprogramming your mindset about birth: breathwork, physiology of birth, stages of birth, hypnobirthing 101, golden hour and skin to skin, birth positions and biomechanics of birth

    2. Know your options and advocacy: place of birth, comfort measures, interventions, knowing your rights, informed decision-making, role of birth partners

    3. Birth planning: Create plan A, B & C, role playing birth scenarios, exploring cultural traditions around pregnancy and birth

    4. Postnatal planning: baby feeding, baby wearing, perinatal mental health, perineal and pelvic care, signposting and connecting with local resources
