You should be comfortable. Avoid any zippers, belts, or clothing that might make it difficult to relax. Bring water. If you are prone to getting cold, bring extra layers or blankets. Finally, bring anything that will help you find a supportive position. This may include a Yoga mat, pillows, an eye mask, or a support person to bolster you.

During sound therapy, you will be asked to find a comfortable position. Move and adjust as needed throughout. You can keep your eyes open or closed. A variety of instruments will be played around the room. They may come close to you. If you do not want the instruments near you, just wave me away. I may offer some physical adjustments. I will always ask before touching someone. You may fall asleep. Wonderful! Other people around you may fall asleep.

After the session, you may feel a little too relaxed. If you feel unstable, let me know. I have techniques to help.

When you get home, drink plenty of water for the next 48 hours. Rest if you are able.

Yes, but not that kind of doctor. I have a PhD and a Master of Social Work, but I am not a medical doctor, nor do I provide therapy. Always check with your medical team before engaging in new activities. I am happy to speak with anyone on your medical team if they have questions. You know your body best; say something if something doesn’t feel right.

No, it just grows it! I always recommend that when possible, get a doula. I also recommend you take the standard child birth preparation class your doctor’s office, hospital, or community offers. We will cover some of that information. However, my work is not designed to replace traditional education.

Individual sessions meet virtually for 50 minutes and cost $70 a session. In-person visits can be arranged but may incur additional costs.

You deserve your best birth. If you cannot afford to participate, please get in touch with me. When possible, I offer a sliding scale. I also provide the opportunity for sponsorships. If you would like to sponsor someone else, please contact me.
