Comfort Measures
for Labor
Partner class
Included in my six week prenatal yoga series
This partner workshop helps you and your partner feel confident in navigating a wide-range of comfort measures and tools for labor.
Partners get more practice with hands-on techniques like hip squeezes hip squeezes, counter-pressure, and gentle massage to ease labor, so that these support techniques come naturally to them in the moment.
Prenatal Yoga + Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Classes + Birth Doula Support =
Full Circle Birth Prep
This full-circle birth preparation is designed for families who want more than information — they want to feel ready.
Combining prenatal yoga, evidence-based childbirth education, and continuous doula support - you move from uncertainty to confidence, from fear to genuine excitement about your birth.
In the months leading up to your birth, you’ll be preparing your body, mind, and nervous system for a calm, empowered birth experience. You’ll learn how to work with your body, understand the physiology of birth, navigate interventions with confidence, and advocate for yourself within the maternity system.
Through prenatal yoga, you learn to inhabit your body and access calm; through evidence-based education, fear is replaced with clarity and confidence; and with continuous doula support, you have a birth professional at your side for the most tender moments you’ve worked so hard to prepare for and protect.
This layered support puts you at the best odds of achieving the birth you’re hoping for — one rooted in confidence, calm, and trust.
A bonus is that you’ll get it all for a bundle deal ;)
FAQs
-
Learning is a mixture of online pre-recorded videos taught by the founder of Evidence Based Birth® founder Rebecca Dekker and weekly video meetings with me.
I am available to you as your mentor during this time, and in our weekly meetings we’ll discuss your questions and dive even deeper into topics of interest. We keep class size small so the discussion can be personalized to each family in attendance.
-
Being well prepared and knowing your options is a key factor in reducing birth trauma. Knowledge is power, and knowing your options promotes a sense of autonomy over your birth experience, which contributes to a positive birth experience.
-
Good question - I’ll offer one 1:1 session to each family in attendance. If you miss a meeting, you’ll still be able to do the online learning videos whenever works best for you that week, or catch up the following week. We can use a part of our 1:1 meeting to explore any questions you have or important information you may have missed in that week’s group mentorship.
