I am early in my pregnancy and am thinking of hiring a birth coach
Most things in life go smoother and better with a little bit of preparation. Hiring a birth coach early in your pregnancy has benefits for many reasons. First, you can ensure that the person you want to support you is available. Second, you are able to have someone support you throughout the pregnancy. This allows you to build a relationship and have someone that you can ask questions to from early on. Finally, getting help early on allows you the ability to greater influence your pregnancy. We recommend our Labor Support Package or Pregnancy Concierge Package
I am having pregnancy complications that nobody has been able to diagnose
Ayurveda has a unique perspective on health and wellness. While there are ways to address acute symptoms, Ayurveda understands and looks at the fundamental cause of disturbances that women experience. Oftentimes, simple, easy to follow suggestions, based on a deep understanding of the body and health, can alleviate often seen or experienced pregnancy complications. It is worth a try to utilize natural remedies. An Ayurvedic Consultation may be able to help.
I’ve am looking to have a VBAC this time around and want help preparing for natural childbirth. Can you help me?
Yes. We have helped many women successfully have a vaginal birth after cesarean. Most moms have had faster, easier and less complicated second births by working with us. Many factors are important to have a VBAC and these are all addressed systematically so that you have the best and safest chances of giving birth the way you envision. We recommend our Labor Support Package or Pregnancy Concierge Package
I experienced or want to avoid experiencing postpartum blues
Postpartum blues can be attributed to many contributory factors, but according to Ayurveda, there are ways in which you may influence your pregnancy, labor and postpartum experience to avoid or minimize its occurrence. We offer placenta encapsulation, which many moms have said have helped them feel less sad, moody and depressed. Our postpartum bodywork has also helped women to nurture their bodies and minds and feel more comforted.
I’ve had my baby and need more support than I had originally planned for
Birth can bring up a lot of things that were once buried. It can also demand a lot more than we may expect. Labor is not easy and your body may need a bit more support in the postpartum period. We provide coaching (listed in prenatal, but can be done in the postpartum as well) to explore the thoughts, emotions and experiences you are facing. Energetic bodywork, with supportive Ayurvedic and Essential oils help to remove blocks that prevent us from being joyful and present. Our postpartum packages Calm Mom Calm Baby and Recovery & Breastfeeding also can help.
My baby is having a hard time breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is something that is so important to moms and it can be challenging as well. We have three packages that specifically address helping babies and moms with the breastfeeding experience. The Calm Mom, Calm Baby as well as the Postpartum Recovery and Breastfeeding Packages both provide lactation support from an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). You will be guided and helped to troubleshoot breastfeeding challenges. Bodywork in these packages offer support to the mother to work out any physical/emotional blocks that certainly contribute to the breastfeeding relationship. Lastly, Craniosacral Therapy for Infants has shown to significantly improve breastfeeding because it helps to release energetic and muscular restrictions in the muscles involved in breastfeeding.
