Renaissance Midwifery - Maternity Care Reborn

We specialize in home birth midwifery care and especially love working with alternative families of all kinds.

As your home birth midwives, we work in partnership to provide complete prenatal, birth and postpartum care. On call 24/7, we are available to answer questions, safely guide you through the intimate journey of pregnancy and birth, and celebrate with you as you welcome your child into the world. We bring a deep trust in birth and in the strength of each birthing family.

We charge a flat fee for complete prenatal, birth, and postpartum care. Insurance will often reimburse at least some of this fee, depending on your plan. We work with a biller to recover as much of your costs as we can.

We hold closely the values of feminism, anti-racism and anti-homophobia and am committed to serving all types of families regardless of race, religion, sexuality, gender, age, or ability. We believe that health care is a human right. If you are a low-income family, please inquire about our sliding scale.

I serve people of all ages.

I am an eclectic professional, with a wide range of experiences that have all converged in my current mission, in which I have operated a sole practitionership as a hypnotherapist, meditation coach (www.SpiralCentric.com), and birth and postpartum doula (www.EarthMotherDoula.com) over the last four years and in which I have over twenty years personal experience in personal development, recovery, and trauma support. If you are finding yourself being held back from having the relationship you want, from responding in a way that feels like your true self, and you are ready and want to change that; you may find my services valuable. I work with individuals, mamas- and partners-to-be, and new parents and their families no matter what they look like. Wishing you good things, SpiralCentric and EarthMother Doula - Does phone consultation

I am a birth and postpartum doula, I also offer placenta encapsulation, help with breastfeeding/lactation, baby wearing and cloth diapering. I serve the Tampa Bay Area.

Florida does not require any licensing or certifications to be a doula. I am however getting them anyway. I am working on Birth and Postpartum Doula training with Birth Arts International. I am also in the process of becoming a Leader with La Leche League International. Next, I will get IBCLC certification. I currently volunteer for The Seventh Mom Project. They help mothers going through perinatal mood disorders.

I have the knowledge, qualifications, and experience to clearly and convincingly provide accurate, current, and detailed information. In addition to lectures and classes, my services include written briefs, telephone consultation, and testimony in person.

I own the company QTP Doula and am an independent contractor through The Birth Geek in Atlanta, GA where I serve as a birth doula as well as a postpartum and infant care doula. I did my postpartum training through ProDoula and my birth training through DONA so as to have a variety of perspectives to draw from. My emphasis is working with non-traditional families, specifically those of the LGBT and poly variety. I'm also a chef, willing and able to make snacks, treats, complete meals, and freezer meals for you and yours.

I offer childbirth education (Brio Birth and other classes) and labor support (doula services) to women and families in central and eastern Massachusetts. I teach a comprehensive course (24 hours of instruction) which covers: how the body works during pregnancy; how to eat and exercise to keep your baby healthy; various choices in care providers and places of birth; many different ways to relax; what the parts of labor look like, and how to support a laboring mom; how to work effectively with your partner and your birth team; the aftermath of birth; nursing your baby; and taking care of your newly expanded family. For more information on my classes and my labor-support services, please see my Web site. I welcome expectant parents in all kinds of families, from single moms to same-sex couples to poly arrangements, as well as those in more traditional relationships!

I practice heart-centered body psychotherapy with individuals, couples, families and groups. I work with people of all gender identities and lifestyles. Integrating sexuality and spirituality is one of my specialties. I work with people of a wide age spectrum from Middle School aged kids through all stages of adulthood. My work incorporates a wide variety of techniques including meditation, body awareness, grounding techniques, speaking and listening from the heart, energy work, safe touch, coaching and process faciitation, all anchored in a foundation of emotional-safety. Whether you are working on healing from trauma, connecting with and expressing an authentic sense of self, improving communication in your intimate relationships, parenting issues, finding meaningful work, coming out as GLBTP or healing from a physical illness or anxiety or depression, Emotional-Kinesthetic Psychotherapy (EKP), the heart-centered body psychotherapy method I have developed, taught and practiced over the past 25 years, can yield meaningful results.

I am a Certified Professional Midwife offering Home Birth services, and Doula related labor support for hospital births. Willing to travel.

Blissful Births provides a variety of services to families in the childbearing year. We also contract with other complimentary professionals to provide reduced, quality services as needed.

I\'m a friendly, responsible, and college-educated childcare professional. I speak English, American Sign Language, and German and I have enough experience with Cued Speech to get by. I\'ve been working with children from newborn to teens for over ten years. I believe that love makes a family, and I enjoy working with families of all sorts. I am also open to working with special needs children. I maintain my First Aid and Adult, Infant, and Child certifications and I believe in participating in a variety of different professional development classes to keep current on best practices and get new suggestions and ideas on how best to work with children. As a professional, I believe it\'s important for me to stay engaged with the children I work with. I like to do a lot of hands on activities and spend active time outdoors instead of simply plopping a child in front of a tv screen or a video game. I also think it\'s important to provide children with healthy meals and snacks and help them learn how to make good choices so that they can grow up to become healthy, happy adults. When I become a part of a child\'s life, I feel that requires a commitment on my part to be there for that child for many years in the future, whether or not I continue to work with that child professionally. I think it is important for children to know that they are cared for and loved beyond any fees that their parents may pay me for working with them. I want them to have as much stability as possible and be able to trust that I won\'t just disappear one day out of the blue, never to be seen again.

Whole Self Doula is a full-spectrum doula practice which provides loving support to pregnant individuals and their families in Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Westchester County, NY, founded on the idea that the best birth experiences happen when people bring their whole selves into the birthing room.

I also specialize in supporting alternative parents who want to feel comfortable with a professional with whom they can share their family dynamics openly, such as polyamorous families and people in power-dynamic relationships. I can serve clients with household incomes under $30K at no cost under the auspices of the Doula Project (www.doulaproject.org). Postpartum and lactation services also available.

I have a general practice with specialties in the treatment of anxiety, pregnancy and postpartum issues, and hypnosis.

I am trained to work with individuals, couples, children, and families.

Definitions may be fluid, nonexistent, or to-be-determined--counseling is a space in which to address these questions, along with any others that my clients consider to be meaningful. My other specialties are domestic violence work (with offenders and victims), wedding and commitment ceremony officiating, writing-as-healing workshops, and vocational testing and counseling.
