Continuous Labor & Birth Support From the moment you need me until your baby is in your arms, I provide unwavering presence: • Intensive Positioning: Using evidence-based movement to encourage optimal fetal positioning for a smoother, more efficient labor. • Trauma-Informed Care: Utilizing EFT/TFT (Thought Field Therapy) techniques to clear emotional blockages, manage intensity, and maintain a calm environment. • Advocacy & Education: Helping you navigate medical conversations so you can make informed decisions with confidence. Universal Support Settings My experience spans across all birth environments. Whether you are planning a: • Home Birth (including water birth and specialized herbal support) • Hospital Birth (navigating interventions with a focus on natural comfort) • Birth Centre (utilizing the best of both worlds) The Gaia Difference I believe birth is a whole-body, whole-soul event. My approach integrates: • Energy & Nervous System Work: Using tapping and release techniques to lower cortisol and manage the "mental game" of labor. • Optimal Fetal Positioning: Specialized knowledge in movement to help baby navigate the pelvis effectively. • Herbal & Ancient Wisdom: Drawing on traditional wellness practices to support your physical recovery and emotional grounding.
