Why (pregnancy) coaching?
You can't always control everything, sometimes a birth doesn't go as expected. But with the right preparation and support, that doesn't have to result in a negative experience. When you feel safe and supported as a woman in labor, that has a positive effect on the birth. The chance of a natural birth increases and the chance of complications decreases.
Coaching helps with:
-
Shaping your birth plan and making choices that feel good
-
Techniques for relaxation and focus during labor
-
Physical and emotional support during birth
-
Supporting both the birthing woman and her partner
-
A positive processing of the birth experience , also afterwards
How does a coaching process work?
Our support starts during pregnancy. We get to know each other, discuss your wishes and provide practical tips and techniques. During childbirth, we are there as soon as you want us to be – whether it is a quick birth or a process that takes longer. In the week after childbirth, we can talk together and offer support, for example with breastfeeding.
Research (see articles at the bottom of this page) shows that a positive birth experience contributes enormously to the well-being of mother, baby and partner. The mental impact should not be underestimated. At Mirasoon we therefore combine a warm, personal approach with a strong scientific basis. Our practice has a solid background in developmental neurobiology and we work with the latest insights into birth and well-being.
