Doula Services

DOULA SERVICES

A Doula is a professional who is trained to offer a mother emotional, physical and informational support during her pregnancy, birthing time and thereafter. In pregnancy, we offer evidence-based information to help you make informed choices for your body and your baby. In labor, we offer comfort with pain-relief techniques, mindfulness practice and emotional support and encouragement. In the postpartum period a doula provides help to a recovering mom by offering breastfeeding support, caring for older siblings, cooking/cleaning/grocery shopping, etc. The parameters of a postpartum doula are set by mom and doula. 
​
According to the Cochrane Review, having a doula on your birth team can create a 31% decrease in the use of Pitocin, 28% decrease in the risk of a cesarean, 9% decrease in the use of ANY pain medication, 14% decrease in the risk of baby being admitted to a special care nursery, 12% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth and a 34% decrease in the risk of being dissatisfied with your birth experience.
 
Doulas truly do serve women in their birthing and recovery time. We do not replace the role of the partner in supporting a woman, but rather, remove the pressures they may feel by actively taking the role of service to the mother so that their partner is completely free to love and support her.

Placenta Preparation Services

PLACENTA PREPARATION SERVICES

While we still await data on the advantages of placenta consumption, many ancient cultures have been using this practice and reporting benefits for thousands of years. The benefits may include: Balanced Hormones, Restoration of Iron Levels, Increase In Breastmilk Production, And Reduced Risk of Postpartum Depression And Baby Blues.
​
Placenta Encapsulation is the process of dehydrating, grinding, and placing the placenta into capsules to take by mouth. The raw method requires no additional steps, and the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Method requires steaming of the placenta with herbs before dehydration. TCM is required for processing a placenta when mom has meconium staining or is Group B Strep Positive. TCM can also be very beneficial for recovering after a difficult labor or birth.
​
Smoothie Cubes are simply pieces of raw placenta blended with a citrus juice and frozen into cubes. This retains the additional benefits that may be "cooked out" through the dehydration process of encapsulation. The cubes make smoothie preparation simple for mom or someone else and can be especially helpful if the person making the smoothies has difficulty handling raw placenta.
​
Placenta Tinctures are made by taking pieces of raw (or steamed if using TCM method) placenta, placed in 100 proof vodka for a period of 6 weeks. After this time, the tincture is poured through cheesecloth into a dark dropper bottle and stored in a cool, dark place for usage as needed. If stored properly, it can remain effective for many many years! Placenta tinctures can be used for mom during times of hormonal transition, trauma, and fluctuation. It can be taken in water or used to create homeopathic remedies-the uses are endless!

Yoga Classes

YOGA CLASSES

Have you been looking into yoga after hearing of its wide array of benefits? Are you seeing those popular advertisements for the cool gadgets, or just want something basic and don't know where to start? That's exactly where I was. I wanted to relieve my back and neck pain, but more than anything, I wanted to feel confident again. I wanted to have pride in my body and its abilities, to be able to push myself and feel my strength build rather than focusing on shrinking my pant size. Yoga revolutionized the way I felt about myself, it changed the way I looked in the mirror. And I'll let you in on a little secret, I started with a $5 mat and a $4 block. I had no tools, but I had a desire to be strong.
​
Unfortunately, I was still left feeling like I had no idea where to start. I get the frustration, the desire to change and feel good, but feeling like you have no idea how to make that happen. And that is why as well as Yoga Trapeze® class offerings, I will also be providing virtual basics classes for those who want one-on-one support in an environment where you feel most comfortable. Book a virtual class in the allotted slots, and when it's time for class, simply log in using the link provided in your email, mute your microphone and get comfortable!
​

Be warned-this is not your typical yoga class! If you are looking for technical pose names and hardcore progression, this may not be the class for you. 

​

Can't wait to get bendy with you all!

​

*No refunds. Missed classes may be made up within 60 days or customer forfeits the class fee.
