PICTURE AND IMAGINE...

HYPNO-DOULA ASSISTANCE (top^)
Doula service on hiatus as of August 2009
"Doula," a Greek term meaning
"mothering the mother" provides continuous support and knowledge
throughout the process of childbirth. Educated and skilled in comfort
measures, Doulas instill confidence and a sense of safety for birthing
mothers, reducing the length of labor by 25%.
With the added skill and technique of hypnosis, perception of pain is diminished.
As your Hypno-Doula, I provide Hypnotherapy, Massage Therapy, Aromatherapy and thirteen years experience as a Birth Doula to create a whole-istic, joyous experience for you and your new family.
In birthing, my primary focus is YOU and YOUR BABY. You’ll receive undivided emotional, physical and spiritual support in conjunction with the above-mentioned skills, plus many others. I will discuss all medical suggestions and options with you and your partner. He/She will then represent your combined "voice" when addressing hospital staff with questions or requests. This ensures that your concentration is not compromised, (an aspect of birthing in hospital, which is covered in detail during classes and private meetings). Your partner and I will work together as one caring entity from beginning to end, and for at least an hour beyond.
In cases of an absent partner, I do assist with medical
communication, should any be needed.
- Hypno-Doula Services Include: 2 meetings, 2 Tao of Birthing CDs for home practice, handouts, black & white birth photographs, homeopathy, aromatherapy, massage, and unlimited phone support.
- Massage for Prenatal and Birthing Preparation as additional service.
- Space Clearing nurseries with Balinese Ceremonial Blessings as additional service.
