What Is A Perinatal Therapist?
Bringing a new life into the world is a beautiful and transformative experience, but it can also be accompanied by a range of emotional challenges. The perinatal period, which includes pregnancy and the first year postpartum, is a critical phase that demands specialized support for both the expecting and new parents. This is where a perinatal therapist plays a crucial role.
Vanessa’s Birth Story
This birth was very special to me. It was such an honor to be asked to be a doula for a doula. I met Vanessa a couple of years ago and have gotten to know her quite well. Vanessa is very organized and my filing usually consists of half folded pieces of papers shoved into the center consul of my car. We balance each other well and we carried that same dynamic into her pregnancy and birth.
How Can A Doula Enhance Your Birthing Experience
Having a doula present during childbirth can enhance the birthing experience in numerous ways. Doulas provide that much-needed emotional and physical support during these challenging times. They can help you navigate the medical system, offer comfort measures, and advocate for your needs and wishes.
