EmpowHERed Birth
Antenatal Care
Three, 2-hour visits with you at your home, where you are most comfortable. These visits include discussing your options of care, general education for the birth you are choosing, demonstration of the techniques I use for labour & how to prepare your body, education on how your birth partner can support you, planning of your Postpartum care, and evidence-based information on anything which can empower your birth and birth choices.
Birth Debrief
Two hours of time together in your home where you are free to express yourself in any way you need, debriefing your Birth experience. This debrief allows you to process your birth by discussing your experience and asking questions. I provide you with evidence-based information to help you through this process. A birth debrief is imperative, regardless how positive it may have been. Debriefing your birth can prevent or reduce your risk of developing Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, or Psychosis. If necessary, I can also refer you to other services to help you further.
Birth Planning
Two hours dedicated to planning your most positive birth experience! Planning your birth empowers you in making informed choices and informs your Care Providers of what your most positive birth experience looks like and how you are going to achieve that. Planning your birth also gives you a sense of control over your birth choices, which contributes to a positive birth experience.
Postpartum Care
Your choice of 3-4-hour visits wherever (in-hospital or your home) and whenever you require (my schedule permitting). These visits allow me to care for you and babe completely. My support is unique to each family, but to give a general idea I provide basic breastfeeding support & education, education & general baby settling and care support, care of the mother, abdominal massage & Bengkung (traditional Indonesian abdominal binding), fostering the mother-baby dyad and protecting the newborn bubble, light housekeeping, and custom tea or essential oil blends if needed. If you are desiring nourishment options as well, I love to cook deeply nourishing meals for my clients!
Labour & Birth Support
I provide non-medical support for every step of your birth journey. What my support looks like for your birth is completely up to you, but every one of these options includes a 24/7 On-call period of one week before your estimated due date up until baby's birth day. In my Doula bag for your birth is copies of your Birth Plan, aromatherapy, labour wraps, bluetooth speaker, massage oil, your birth affirmations if you choose to have some, and anything else we discuss!
Additional Inclusions
Included in this offering is unlimited text & email support, use of my resource library, one sachet of EmpowHERed Nutritive Pregnancy Tea, lending of one Rebozo and one Bengkung, and one serve of my ancestral post-birth nourishing soup. You also have the option of adding on labour snacks, EmpowHERed Mother's Milk Tea, 100mL mist bottle of either EmpowHERed Sitz Mist or EmpowHERed Wound Spray, and Homemade Labour/Postpartum Support Bone Broths (vegan options available) and Postpartum snacks.
