                                        An involved partner

Having emotional support is of the utmost importance for a woman in labor. The ideal person to take on this role with her is of course her partner. My role is to facilitate by helping her to have more confidence in him (or her) to get more involved, while respecting her limits and needs. During the pre-birth meetings, we explore a whole vocabulary of postures to be found on the day of the birth, among others, with the balloon tool, massage and the quality of presence in general.I can massage the woman's back, which allows the partner to maintain eye contact with the mother and encourage her during the contractions or vice versa.
I am available to answer questions regarding protocols, the course of labour, and proposed interventions so that parents can make informed choices.
My experience enriches the loving support that the partner wishes to offer his wife.
I reassure, comfort and inform the couple. Above all, I promote your autonomy and intimacy.

I know how to make myself transparent, while being attentive and available.
The presence of a Yoga Doula is very much appreciated by the partner who wishes to get involved but does not always know how to do so.

Preparing

A first approach meeting allows us to meet each other. For this first meeting, the two future parents are, as much as possible, wished to be present. It is an opportunity to ask all possible questions and to see if the current is flowing between us. The cost of this one-hour meeting is deducted from the package, if there is a commitment.

My support begins the moment you contact me. We will make together the planning of our next meetings according to our respective availabilities.
It is at your home that the sessions will take place. Over the course of the meetings, a relationship of trust and proximity is built. This relationship is my main tool to support you until the day of the birth and after, in the relationship with your baby.

Count seven sessions for a classic package (primipare or experience of previous difficult births). You can divide these seven sessions as you wish. My presence at the birth is included. But you can also decide otherwise, right up until the last moment. In any case, I will make myself available between 10 days before and after term. During your support, I can be reached by phone at any time.

In addition, the meetings are well filled. Here is an overview of the content covered during the prenatal meetings:
.Expectations regarding pregnancy and childbirth
.Pregnancy transformations, psychological/emotional/relational support
.Physiology of childbirth, aches, fear, pain
.Possible interventions, hospital protocols
.Birth plan and informed choices
.Preparation at the body level: Yoga, breathing, stretching, pelvis, perineum, baby bonding, birthing positions.
.Spiritual support: meditation, visualization
.Healthy lifestyle for pregnant women: nutrition, body care
.Preparation of post-natal support: Welcoming the baby, practical: living space, the concrete realities with a newborn, shopping, laundry, cleaning, balanced meals, baby care, carrying, co-sleeping...
.Suggestions for reading and viewing
.Listening and tools for the partner

From 10 days before to 10 days after the expected date of birth, I am ready to join you at any time.I guarantee a quick presence at your side.Available by phone
If, for a major reason, my presence could not be assured, I work in a network with my Doulas colleagues.
