I enjoy sharing information about other strong providers that compliment my care. I feel strongly about providing links from our local mothers to get the best care possible for things they normally would not know about.

Chiropractic Care is another type of care strongly encouraged during and after pregnancy. A chiropractor trained in prenatal care and postpartum care can keep your body strong and limber during your pregnancy and birthing day. In addition to reported shorted labor times chiropractors can also allow for good positioning for the baby for labor. Some practitioners will specialize in Webster's technique for for optimal positioning including rectifying beech position in babies. Here are some my clients and myself love.

Doulas surround a labor with love and comfort. A good doula will never take the place of your partner, she will help meld you both and guide your partner on how to support you.
"If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it."-Dr. John Kennell

Placenta encapsulation is a tried and true ancient technique. Many women report better milk supply, increased energy and feeling of calm. My clients have said this has been a game changer in their postpartum recovery.

Child birth classes can empower you to have the tools you need and information to make more informed choices for you and your baby. It increases the bond you already have with your baby and prepares you emotionally and intellectually for pregnancy and labor. For perspective, I attended 2 classes with my most recent pregnancy and it was my third and I am a midwife. I loved them!
