Start YOUR Journey

OUR APPROACH

We hold the philosophy that we are coming alongside to let you, as a couple, have the birth that you desire.  We believe that the dad is the most important birth partner during labor and delivery.  We want him to be the hero using his strength and diligence to assist the mother of his baby if that is what he desires. We then become his coach and an extra set of hands.  If he is unable to attend or wants to only be her moral support, we will fill in on the other tasks. 

Here are examples of the things we are willing to do:

• Help think through what birth experience you desire

• Suggest ways to prepare for labor

• Assist in making a birth plan

• Offer and facilitate a two-hour birthing class

• Come to your home when in “active labor” or meet you at the hospital

• Help you relax in labor by changing positions and/or breathing techniques

• Massage and acupressure

• Use pressure points to ease pain during contractions

• Provide back-up and counsel for the dads that are actively doing most of the support

• Offer suggestions for positions

• Help turn babies that are in the wrong position

• Provide an explanation of medical procedures and terms

• Two weeks postpartum care
