Services

We provide a wide range of counseling and services.

Homebirth Services:

• Pre-conception Counseling
  Are you thinking about becoming pregnant. It is important to prepare your body for pregnancy. We will counsel you on how to do that. We work with you on diet and nutrition, decreasing stress in your life and how to increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Call for an appointment.
• Childbirth and Parenting Classes
  We provide regular classes on childbirth and parenting. We offer private or group lessons. Due to the upcoming holiday season, childbirth classes will be done on an individual basis. Our next scheduled group class starts in January.
• Nutritional Counseling
  Good nutrition is the foundation of a healthy life, a healthy pregnancy and baby. At your first pre-natal visit we will give you a diet recall sheet to fill out over a week's time. At your next appointment we will discuss this with you and together come up with a plan that works for you. Areas of concern might be getting enough protein, iron and calcium, staying hydrated and either decreasing or increasing your calorie intake. Nutrition is a tool that we use to help decrease your chances of developing complications in your pregnancy. Nutrition will be something that will be discussed at each of your pre-natal and postpartum visits.
• WaterBirth
  Water has a relaxing effect on women in labor. Water is one of the many tools we use to help women in labor. Giving birth is an incredible experience and has benefits for both mother and baby. If this is something you are considering for your labor and birth, let us know. You can use your own tub or rent or buy a birth pool.

• Breastfeeding
  Breastfeeding is so important for your baby. We work with you right from the very beginning to help ensure that you have a positive experience. Please contact us with any questions you might have about breastfeeding. Sometimes it is as simple as changing a position to turn a frustrating experience into a joyful one.
