Pregnancy
Congratulations!!
Taking care of yourself while you are pregnant (and when you are not) is so important. Your body is very different now so you want to make sure that you are doing everything you can to get to know it. The more you nurture your body during this time, the easier your labor should be. Doing things like yoga, meditation, belly breathing, massage, and eating well, can really help in the long run. I offer the following services to support you during this beautiful time in your life. ~J Clark
Pregnancy Massage
Massage during pregnancy offers many of the traditional benefits of massage including: increased body awareness, relief from muscle aches and tension, and improved lymphatic flow. However, this type of massage also eases common discomforts associated with pregnancy such as sciatic pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and low back pain. J was trained in MotherMassage ® by its founder, Elaine Stillerman. This is a very safe and thoroughly researched style of Pregnancy Massage. MotherMassage ® supports the mother during pregnancy, during labor, and also postpartum. Please feel free to contact J with any questions.Labor Doula Services
A labor doula is someone who is there for the parents during the labor and delivery of their brand new baby. I meet with the parents ahead of time to discuss what they wish their birth experience to be like and do everything in my power to make sure that this goal is achieved. I help to keep the laboring mother calm and I am there to help explain what is happening during the various points during labor. I can also make suggestions to help the labor go more smoothly. The reassurance of a doula is irreplaceable!Numerous clinical studies have found that a doula’s presence at birth:
- tends to result in shorter labors with fewer complications
- reduces negative feelings about one’s childbirth experience
- reduces the need for pitocin (a labor-inducing drug), forcepts or vacuum extraction and cesareans
- reduces the mother’s request for pain medication and/or epidurals
Please contact J today to meet with you about your upcoming birth!
Doula Services are available in the "off season" between September and May. Some flexibility is possible. I will travel anywhere on Cape for your birth. Whether your delivering at home, hospital or birth center, I would love to assist you!
