Services: A New Life Begins Doula and Pregnancy Services

Currently Offering Childbirth Education Courses
Private and Group

Description of courses offered and length of course varies, depending on your specific schedules and needs. I offer a comprehensive course that will provide you with an in depth walk through of pregnancy, labor, birth and the early postpartum period. Discussion of natural pain coping techniques, medical pain management options, possible interventions & problems, as well as postpartum self care and baby care, including breastfeeding, are a few of the topics that will be covered.

For those desiring a natural childbirth, I offer an "add on" class, that can be added to my current course, or to any course you may have already taken that is focused on natural coping techniques, such as breathing, massage, various relaxation methods, as well as labor positions, trick and tools of the trade, and partner communication, and information session to help you be your own advocate.

To schedule a course, please email DoulaHallie@yahoo.com or call 727-743-6671

During labor, doulas provide close uninterrupted care of the mother. They can provide comfort with pain relief techniques, such as breathing, relaxation, massage and various laboring positions. Doulas also encourage participation from the partner and offer reassurance. A doula acts as an advocate for the mother, encouraging her in her desires for her birth. The goal of a doula is to help the mother have a positive and safe birth experience, whether the mother wants an un-medicated birth or is having a planned cesarean birth.
