The First Session
The first session with my clients is to talk about their birth intentions and goals and then ask them what is their reason why.
This is a question I often ask and have people reflect on and journal about, especially when they intend to go unmedicated or get as far as they can before an epidural. This is why will be your driving force, and is something that your birth support team can reflect back on to you if any doubt creeps in.
A good way to find your reason why, is to weigh out the risks and rewards. What are you giving up and what are you gaining? It also helps to educate yourself on the physiological natural unfolding of birth to gain a better understanding to support your reason “why”.
I keep getting asked about my Mindful Mom-to-Be virtual interactive program so I brought it back! A new class begins on September 17th @ 5 pm PST and goes for 10 weeks.
A little breakdown of the 10-weeks:
1st section we work on mindful practices for self-care
2nd part is everything about birth
3rd is part postpartum
There is a group chat for community, connection, and support as well as weekly emails jammed packed with tons of info. You also get a free membership to my online community "The Mama Portal". You can start anytime during your pregnancy and we already have a bunch of awesome ladies already signed up!
Hope to see you all there!!!
