Birth Plan Consultations
Discover the power of your voice and preferences in a private and tailored Birth Plan Consultation designed to meet your unique needs and schedule.
Crafting a birth plan isn't just about being heard; it's a journey of self-discovery, allowing you to navigate your feelings and needs. This consultation serves as a platform for fostering healthy communication between you and your provider, laying the foundation for shared decision-making. Regardless of your birth preferences—be it unmedicated, with an epidural, or cesarean—a well-thought-out birth plan aids in clearly communicating your desires throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery.
Wherever you are in the birth plan process—whether you have a rough draft seeking refinement or haven't delved into it yet—this consultation will be tailored to your specific needs. Alyssa's mission is to equip you with the resources not only for labor but for the entirety of your pregnancy and postpartum journey. Her goal is to leave you feeling more educated, confident, and prepared to engage in meaningful conversations with your provider.

Whether you're seeking a refresher post-Spinning Babies® Parent class or hands-on guidance with daily essentials or the three balances of Spinning Babies®, our one-on-one guided sessions offer an hour of focused support to boost your confidence in the Spinning Babies approach. Optimal engagement with Spinning Babies® begins as early as 20 weeks gestation.
Is your baby currently breech or in a transverse position (not head down)? Utilize this hour-long guided session for personalized hands-on support while practicing the Spinning Babies Breech Protocol. While most effective between the 34th and 36th weeks of pregnancy, this session remains beneficial in late pregnancy, especially if your baby is not in a head-down position or in coordination with a medical approach like External Cephalic Version.
