Pleasant Places Birth Support

07/31/2024

The “nesting” visit is one of my favorite parts of doula care, because it’s never the same!! Last night, this mama and I prepped breakfast burritos, muffins, and protein balls for her toddler’s breakfasts once the new baby comes home!

I’m here to support YOU, mama. Your needs don’t fit a formula, and so neither does doula care!🫶🏻

What does doula care with Pleasant Places look like?

Yes, it looks like birth plans, position changes, affirmations and breathing techniques. But also…

It’s having a pizza brought over for dinner after a hospital scare. It’s having your dishes washed and dried postpartum. It’s text reminders to buy new towels and to take a nap. It’s scrubbing your bathroom so you have one less thing on your plate.

Doula care is care for you. Not just as a pregnant woman but as a person. It’s support. And that looks different for every mama, every pregnancy, and every day.

And I love, love, love being able to provide that for my sweet clients🫶🏻

Birth affirmations are used to encourage women to have confidence in the process God designed for birth and not be afraid. With confidence and trust, her body relaxes allowing birth to calmly progress.

Q: What exactly is comfort coaching, and who could benefit from it?

A: Comfort coaching is ideal for mamas and support teams who for whatever reason (financial, hospital restrictions, etc.) have chosen not to have a doula. I get it, no judgement here! During a comfort coaching session, I meet with you and whoever else you’ve chosen to support you during your birth. We will go over your birth plan (or create one for an additional fee), and I’ll teach your support team how to best support you! You’ll learn and practice some of the best methods to prepare for labor, cope with labor pains, and bring your little one into the world!

If you can’t afford/can’t have a doula, but would like to have a natural and informed birth experience, message me to book a comfort coaching session!💕
