Planning Sessions
Pregnancy and parenting involve lots of change! Personalized planning sessions help you anticipate and prepare for these changes, and learn about your baby’s needs as well. The stress prevented by knowing what to expect and planning ahead of time is immeasurable! I offer planning sessions for:
Pregnancy
Birth
Postpartum
Early Parenting / Baby Care
Returning to Work
Finding Balance or Personal Renewal
Strengthening Relationships
Each personal session will give you an idea of what to expect physically and emotionally from the transitions ahead. We will discuss and “envision” your positive birth experience and then create birth plan with an understanding of each person’s role, and more… leaving you with clarity, a stronger sense of teamwork, greater confidence, and more hope for having a birth empowered by your voice. This consultation helps you identify your ideal situation and how to get there, as well as provide an informed perspective on alternative outcomes. We also discuss, baby care, soothing and development.
Intervention Sessions
At times, the challenges of pregnancy or parenting a new baby take a toll on energy levels, relationships, personal health, and mental and emotional wellbeing. An intervention session is a time to discuss any immediate needs you are facing and figure out a plan for getting through it, or even transforming it into something deeply rewarding. Intervention sessions are great for individuals or couples who don’t feel they need extensive counseling, therapy, or a doctor, but who recognize that health or relationships are not at their best. Sessions include education, coaching, planning and referrals to additional relevant resources.
Mother's Blessingway
A blessingway is a time-honored tradition of women gathering around a pregnant woman to celebrate her just before her birthing time. This a most precious and sacred time to honor your transition to motherhood, differing from a baby shower. Imagine yourself encircled by your closest sisters, in sacred space to voice fears, and see just how deep your well of strength is. Each blessingway is custom-created for you to align with your wishes and beliefs.
