Home Birth Assistant service

Are you planning on having a Home birth?

If so, you have probably already chosen your midwife and are potentially in the process of building your birthing team. In this process, you will need to think of whom you would like to be near you as you labour and give birth to your baby. 

Who will be around you, and what are their specific roles? As part of your birth team, you might like to consider having a home birth assistant.

Your homebirth should be magical and you should feel like a goddess and the absolute priority!  Your Home Birth Assistant can help you in making this experience unforgettable. 

Homebirth Assistant Services include:

          + 2 antenatal sessions in your own home (of 3 hours maximum each) during which we will discuss the following:

          –  Home birth specific preparation session: how do you picture your home birth? What are your birth preferences? Who will be there with you and what will they do to make this experience unique? What do you truly wish for?

   + Provide you and your birth team with emotional and psychological preparation, guidance and information. Assist your birth team in any way I can so they can focus on you and your experience.

         + Provide you and your birth partner with comfort, positioning support, and nurturing touch.

         + Support you with decision-making and information-gathering.

         + Provide guidance, emotional and practical support as well as some coaching for your birth partner.

         + Help and support with looking after older children in the house during labour.

And much more!
