Labor & Delivery Preparation - Doula Care
​
Labor and delivery is a very special and anticipatory time - reflecting 
the culmination of the journey of pregnancy.

 

The goal at this stage is to initiate the softening of the body's tendons and ligaments, and encourage the natural process of cervical ripening and effacement.

 

Treatments are designed to prepare both mother and child to engage in the upcoming stages of labor and delivery.

 

Commonly Treated:

  • Encourage Cervical Ripening & Effacement

  • Promote Smooth Uterine Contractions (Early Labor / Pre-Labor)

  • Reduce Anxiety, Promote Relaxation

  • Regulate Blood Pressure (Mother / Baby)

  • Reduce incidents of “Stalled Labor”

 

We also work with women throughout the entire labor and delivery process - utilizing Doula Training, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Manual Therapy.
