Heather Stanley, Holistic Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula
A Doula provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to a birthing family. A Doula is a wise choice for any birth-- whether it is a hospital birth, a cesarean birth, or a home birth.
As a Birth Doula:
* I foster a close relationship with my birthing families by meeting monthly during the first 8 months of pregnancy, weekly thereafter.
* I meet monthly to encourage our strong bond, encourage open dialogue, and help strengthen individual and family wellness, holistically.
* I help a woman & her partner build their confidence so their birthing experience will be life enhancing & empowering.
* I teach a woman how to build a pain-coping mindset, and I prepare her to give birth in awareness.
* I mentor a woman’s discovery process of how to become a mother, not simply to be a patient.
* I support a calm, curious, and receptive state of mind, unveiling each woman's innate wisdom in her own birth process.
* I educate families about Health, Nutrition, Concerns, Fears, and anything else they may need during this transformational time.
* I stay by the side of the laboring woman throughout the entire labor.
* I provide comfort measures during the birth and assist with positions and Spinning Babies approaches that may work well.
* I encourage loving interaction and communication between all members of the laboring family and their healthcare providers.
As a Portpartum Doula:
* I assist with self-care recovery, postpartum comfort measures, and information on parenting, feeding, and caring for baby.
* I provide emotional support (listening to your birth story, fears, frustrations, and concerns regarding your labor and recovery).
* I prepare nutritious, simple meals.
* I care for the newborn or sibling so mom/dad can get some well-needed rest.
* I refer you to other professionals as needed to encourage success.
* I show you ways to bathe, feed, and comfort baby, as well as cutting baby's nails, organizing nursery, home, etc.
* I visit your home prior to birth to discuss baby care, sibling preparation, child proofing, relaxing, etc.
* I support you and your family in many ways to feel successful, happy, nourished, and rested during this special time.
* I respect you, your family, your home, and your parenting styles.
* I aid in breastfeeding support and information/referrals as needed.
* I offer many choices so you can choose what works for you and your family.
>>>I would love to gift you a one-hour free consultation to discuss your needs, propose a schedule, and ensure compatibility.<<<
