Specialized Coaching Programs:
Do you feel like you need an expert to create a specific program for JUST you?! This program starts as soon as you feel you need to learn what to do when you're expecting & ends when you really GOT THIS!
I have created 3 specialized programs that address many of the concerns that are encountered with having a baby:
1. Creating a detailed birth plan regarding having the birth you desire. This will be more detailed than a basic 1 hour session with me.
2. Lactation questions and concerns. How you want to feed your baby is something to consider BEFORE having a baby. Detailed instruction regarding what to do if things don't go according to plan, plus I have access to skilled Lactation Consultants (LC's), that are easier to access than in the public system.
3. Mental Health concerns: Anxiety, depression, previous post partum depression (PDD) are rising, and along with hormone imbalances during pregnancy, parents will want to receive assistance with these issues PRIOR to having their baby.
There are many more concerns I can assist with but these 3 issues are often a concern for many expectant & new parents- these are my focus with Nursery Next Door.
Videos that are easy to understand- short, sweet & to the point!
Written information that isn't wordy- I don't want this to be work for you- I'll give you what you need to KNOW, WHEN you need to know it!
PLUS: 33 page SIMPLE STEPS TO SUCCESS E-BOOK: This includes a program discussing many aspects of the Mind/Body/Baby & Family Support. I created this newborn care guide from my many years of experience as a NICU/Post-Partum nurse. Practical advice, intertwined with easy steps to shift to a healthier mindset = KEYS TO SUCCESS! Also included is a Baby Experts list- MANY other baby experts that will make your life SO much easier!
