Cup of Coffee

PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION PLAN

2 hours, $150

No matter your current level of preparation, we dive in together to assess what your current strengths & needs may be.

*After our meeting, I will review my notes and send a follow-up email including my personal recommendations for your birth preparation.​

Not quite sure how to cope with the intensity of labor? Or have you seen recommended tools but aren't sure how to use them? Let's check it out in detail!

BODY BALANCING & MOVEMENT
CLASS

1 hour, $75

A moving mama = a moving baby, and preparing your body during pregnancy not only helps get your body ready for birth, but can help you have a more comfortable pregnancy & recovery as well. Every body is different, and through Q&A, we will pinpoint which activities may be right for you and which to avoid in your pregnancy and birth.
In this session we cover:​

  • the benefits of  body balancing

  • when to start & how often

  • mindful maternal positioning in everyday life

  • professionals who can help with body balancing

  • Spinning Babies & The Miles Circuit

  • how to use a birth ball & a peanut ball

  • how to move in labor with or without an epidural

  • how to help balance the body to help with labor progress

 

*Following our session, I will email you my personal recommendations for you, and links to resources.

BREATHING & MINDFULNESS CLASS

1 hour, $75

Two of the greatest skills we can take into any type of birth is the ability to breathe effectively & keep a steady mind. Practicing breathing & mindfulness not only sets you up for a better birth, but a better pregnancy & recovery as well.
In this session we cover:​

  • the benefits of intentional breathing

  • labor breathing & push breathing

  • how to practice in pregnancy

  • how these practices affect your birth

  • visualization techniques

  • tension release exercises for labor

  • how your thoughts affect your experience and how to reframe them

  • apps and resources that may be helpful to you

​

*Following our session, I will email you my personal recommendations for you, and links to resources.

BIRTH & INFANT CARE PREFERENCES

1 hour, $75

The term "birth plan" gets a bad rep, and true enough, there is no real way to lay out a "plan" for birth.
BUT, conversations surrounding your preferences for you and your baby's care is always important.
Together we will:

  • chat about your options

  • note which elements are most important to you

  • I'll give you evidence in order to make your best informed decision

  • complete a questionnaire to create a birth & infant care plan sheet to share with your birth team

  • talk together about how to advocate for your wishes & navigate choices presented

​

*Printable Birth & Infant Care Plan formatted to your preferences included.

POSTPARTUM PLANNING CLASS

1 hour, $75

Sometimes we focus so much on our birth that planning for the postpartum period goes by the wayside. This session helps you create an intentional guide for navigating your fourth trimester in confidence, allowing you to rest and recover well.
In this session we cover:​

  • what is a postpartum care plan & what to include

  • items to have on hand for your birth day & postpartum recovery period

  • how to use your postpartum care items

  • items insurance may cover

  • postpartum nutrition

  • practical ways to care for yourself

  • identifying perinatal mood & anxiety disorders

 

*Printable, 7-page Postpartum Care Plan worksheet included.
