HOW FAR ALONG IN MY PREGNANCY SHOULD I BE TO START COACHING?

This is totally up to you! Ideally, it’s nice to feel like you’re not cramming in your birth prep at the last minute, but if you are far along and still not feeling confident about going into the labor and delivery experience, let’s work on that! It’s never too early or too late for coaching!

WHAT DOES A COACHING SESSION LOOK LIKE?

Each coaching session will look different, depending on your goals. Some clients are looking to overcome fears of pain and birth, while others are seeking help with crafting a birth plan or building their registry. Your goals will determine what the session looks like.

Generally, we will begin with solidifying your goals for pregnancy, birth and/or newborn life. We will discuss where you stand with those goals right now and what is holding you back from reaching them. Then, we will brainstorm the options you have, depending on the current situation. We will close each session with a realistic and manageable action item you can work on to move toward your goals before the next session.

DO I HAVE TO BE LOCAL?

Nope! Prenatal coaching sessions can be done virtually or in person, depending on your location! New moms and their partners who are local to the San Francisco East Bay Area will have the benefit of an in-home postpartum visit.
