Perinatal Wellness: pregnancy and postpartum support
So, you're #pregnant..... now what?
You've scheduled your OB/Midwife appointments. You're eyeing up the #Amazon/#Target baby registries. You're making room for a nursery. You're reading Blogs and Books on #pregnancy and raising your child.
That is a wonderful start!
Let's take it a step further and ensure you have all encompassing support through your pregnancy.
Perinatal #wellness is the perfect model of care to ensure you are supported and able to move through pregnancy confidently and comfortably.
As a #Pelvichealth physical therapist and trained #birthdoula I provide support including:
- physical - guided movement/stretching, movement programming
- emotional - email/text/virtual check-ins, resources for mental health
- informational - knowledge about pregnancy, birth, body changes, resources
- self advocacy - learn what questions to ask providers, how to identify all of your options and ensure your preferences are respected
- partner/family/community - Assist your people in supporting you during pregnancy, labor/delivery, and postpartum
If I am hired as your #Birthdoula I can also provide support that includes documentation of the labor/birth!

Take care.
