 Birth is a powerful, humbling, and transformative rite of passage. So many questions come up for families who are pregnant and/or preparing to start a family. With so many choices to make, it's easy to get overwhelmed. My intention is to help families prepare to meet this important life passage with full participatory presence, both for themselves, and for their unborn babies, wherever and however they choose to birth. Conscious birthing promotes optimal maternal infant bonding and healthy physiological and emotional regulatory processes. This means babies that are more likely to eat, sleep, cuddle, digest, connect, and develop, easily and well.
Bonding begins in the womb. Prenatal bonding is a wonderful process that helps set the stage for secure attachment. I combine guided imagery, spiritual connection, and your own presence to assist you in connecting and communicating more deeply with your unborn child and paving the pathway for secure and resilient attachment.
I am a graduate level instructor of pre and perinatal psychology and I offer supportive counseling for pregnancy and childbirth. During the course of birth counseling many clients experience:
• A place to be heard and gain some
resolution of fears and concerns regarding
pregnancy, birth, and parenting
• Added information and confidence in making
educated decisions about birth related
matters
• Increased excitement and anticipation
for the new adventures ahead
• Diminishment and resolution of fears,
anxieties, and conerns
• Increased confidence and sense of
comfort in relation to giving birth
and becoming a parent
• A strong sense of connection and
bonding with their unborn child
