Birth Protectors
Pregnancy and birth should be viewed as a normal, healthy event in a woman’s life. Unnecessary interference in the birth process can disrupt the body’s normal function, leading to intervention-caused complications. As your midwife we are here to protect the sanctity of your birth experience.
Emotional Connection
A pregnant woman who has her physical and emotional needs met, and who is given skillful and caring support during pregnancy and birth, has the best chance for a normal and positive birth experience. We are here to ensure you are empowered every step of pregnancy and delivery.
Natural Support
In an atmosphere of warmth, calmness, freedom of movement and nurturing support, a woman can relax and work with her body in the way that is best suited to empower her throughout delivery. Even throughout complications, the mother can be listened to throughout the decision-making process.
Home Birth is Natural Birth
At Hands of Grace we believe in fostering a positive birthing experience. As part of this, we provide complete in-home prenatal, homebirth, and postpartum care. We extend our in-home services to those looking for a home VBAC as well.
Midwifery Care
Prenatal Care: Appointments are scheduled in your home to allow time for questions and relationship building. Labor and Birth Support: No time limit on hours spent with you in labor. Back up is ensured for your birth from 37-42 weeks. Postpartum Care: 2-hour immediate care, followed by home visits to assure that everything is progressing normally, provide support for breastfeeding, and emotional support.
Placental Encapsulation
The placenta is rich in hormones, protein, vitamins, and hemoglobin (which is an iron-rich protein) which are beneficial to mom after labor and delivery. I offer placenta encapsulation by either the Traditional Chinese Medicine method or the Raw method, meaning that it is dried without steaming to avoid damaging the hormones. I include a tincture and placenta print if desired at no extra charge.
Belly Casting
Belly casting is a special way to capture the memory of your beautiful, growing shape and turn it into art to admire in years to come. In the final weeks of your pregnancy, using plaster cast, we are able to create a three-dimensional sculpture of your pregnant form. This preserves the memory of the many months mom and baby spent growing and bonding. We are happy to create this unique keepsake for your family.
