You absolutely can just walk into a hospital at the end of your pregnancy and give birth to your baby without learning anything about pregnancy, labor, or birth or setting any goals during your pregnancy for how you’d like it all to work out.

But if you then walk out of that hospital feeling negatively about your experience, like nothing went "the way it was supposed to", you shouldn't be totally surprised.

You have to do some work to prepare yourself physically, mentally, & informationally for your birth (beyond watching a few Instagram reels).

When you outsource all of your decisions surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postpartum to others, your experience will likely drift away from what you truly want.

You can’t possibly know exactly how your birth will go or plan for any and every situation. But you can do a great deal to set goals, educate yourself, plan & prepare your mind, body, & partner for the birth you most desire. This will look different for everyone and things can change as birth progresses.

Knowing your options before they are presented to you in the throes of labor will help you and your partner advocate for your wants.

That's it! 🏵️

I've heard women say they want to just do what everyone else does in birth...which is fine...if you know what all that might entail!

Education. Preparation. Support.

For any type of birth you are desiring or having. Knowing that begins with you. Choices that can be made in many scenarios to help you feel more comfortable and connected to the process.

You don't have to become a contortionist or be insanely flexible

You don't have to know a bunch of different breathing techniques or memorize a million affirmations

You don't have to follow a formula of certain moves for certain points in labor

You just have to keep breathing and keep moving throughout your labor.

🏵️ Stretch a little every day - breathe deeply every day - get excited about your baby's arrival every day 🏵️

Try techniques & positions throughout your pregnancy to prepare

And remember even small position changes in labor can make a big difference

I always tell my clients... you don't have to hang from the rafters to get baby out...but a foot up on a stool can go a long way to give space in the pelvis 🏵️

Is a comfort measures / Labor preparation session for me if I know I want an epidural as soon as possible in labor?

🏵️ YES! Here's why...

If your labor begins on its own while you are at home there could be a few hours even before you actually get the epidural placed and it begins working... you'll want to plan coping techniques for that time and I can help you do that!

Once you get the epidural, it's not ideal to just lay flat on your back. I can teach you all kinds of positions, ways to move the hospital bed, and movements your partner can help you with to help your baby move into and through the pelvis.

And just because you have an epidural doesn't mean you have to push on your back!

I can also help you tweak your birth plan so that both epidural AND movement are clear priorities for you.

All of my services are epidural friendly - I support whatever birth you choose:

I met with Hannah for 3 prenatal movement/comfort measures sessions & 1 postpartum check-in. She and her husband Daniel are the sweetest people!

Together, we worked on Hannah's mindset, physical preparation, positions to try in labor, and techniques Daniel could use to support Hannah in labor.

Here's more of what Hannah had to say:

"Chelsey's holistic care was so refreshing and really helped me and my husband feel prepared for our second birth.
She was so in tune with my concerns and emotional needs during her visits, which really helped me in overcoming fears that I know would have impeded on my labor and prolonged delivery of my second baby.
Her postpartum care was so helpful as well! Giving me short but detailed information that I can go back to reference for postpartum nutrition and just practical ways to care for myself with breastfeeding, diet, supplements, grace and gentleness. This kind of support is priceless for any pregnant woman but I definitely recommend Chelsey’s services to any fellow military wives, since we need all the support and encouragement we can get being away from family and having spouses gone for deployments.
Chelsey is worth every penny and then some! She was a God-send to our family and we were so blessed to have the birth of our dreams, a great part due to Chelsey’s wealth of knowledge, body prep and care.
🏵️ I wish we could take her with us to our next duty station, haha!"🏵️

My work comes from my heart 💜 And I am so glad that comes across.

Doula. Childbirth Education. Labor & Partner Prep.

If you want to feel more prepared & supported in your pregnancy & birth, I'm here to be on your team!

The result is reduced stress & more confidence & readiness in pregnancy, heading into labor/birth, & for a more peaceful postpartum.

My Process:

🏵️ Education: I firmly believe that knowledge is power. I don’t think you need to know every little thing about pregnancy & birth - but I do think having a good base of knowledge on different things that can happen in pregnancy, all types of birth, variations in labor, procedures you may need, & much more.

Having someone local with experience coaching you through this can help you have your questions answered, be in the comfort of your own home, & get local resources.

🏵️ Preparation: It’s not enough, in my opinion, to just teach you about your pregnant body, prenatal exercise, labor & birth, & postpartum.
You actually have to practice!

We practice different movements, positions, comfort measures (with your partner!), & breathing techniques.
We run through labor scenarios to get you thinking about what might be happening & how you would deal with it.
And, of course, I help you mentally prepare for labor, which is as important, if not more, as the physical prep.

🏵️ Support: Whether we are doing one comfort measures coaching session or you have hired me for full doula services, I genuinely care about you and your birth experience.
I want to listen to you and support you as best I can to have a birth that you feel positively about.

And I want to help your partner know how to better support you through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I will always work to honor that connection while also being there to guide and be strong.

🏵️ Ready for education, preparation, & support in your pregnancy, labor, & postpartum - comment NEST & I’ll DM the interest form to you! Or check out the links in my bio 🏵️
