VBAC Preparation Consultation
If you have had a cesarean and want to experience natural birth,a VBAC Preparation Consultation is a must!  We
can explore the reason for your previous cesarean, go through your medical records to see what you can do
differently this time, and then work together to plan for a safe VBAC, either at home or in hospital.  As a birth
doula with years of VBAC experience(as well has having a successful VBAC of my own), I can also give you an
evidence-based, professional opinion on your options for birth. You will also leave with a list of local resources to
help you through your journey in planning your VBAC
.

Through my consulting practice I offer women (and their partners/ families) positive encouragement and support
around making healthy choices and conscious decisions about their pregnancy and birth.
Birth Plan Consultation
I provide referrals for midwives (home birth or hospital based), doctors, doulas, complementary health care
providers, birth and parenting classes, books, and other resources.
I help you envision where you would like to give birth, whether it be in a hospital, birth center or your own home.
I assist families in cultivating the tools they need to safely welcome their babies in a peaceful and loving way.
I listen to your concerns, answer questions, offer suggestions, and support your pregnancy and birth in a way that
is unique for you.
You and your partner will learn about different natural pain relieving techniques.

This is a one hour visit after which I will provide you with a customized resource list and a personalized birth plan.

Your placenta's hormonal make-up is completely unique to YOU. There is
no prescription pill, vitamin or herbal supplement that can do what YOUR
placenta pill can do.

Process:
I use the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) Method. Before drying out
the placenta I prepare it using herbs that lend their healing properties to the
placenta. Then the placenta is ground and encapsulated.

I can also add a placenta booster of your choice. Boosters include a blend
of nursing friendly herbs:
Happy Momma Boost
More Milk Boost
