WHEN MOMMA AIN’T HAPPY, AIN’T NOBODY HAPPY…
Practicing HeartMath® tools can be beneficial throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.
Let’s face it: labor and birth are hard work.
No matter what your birth plan looks like, a licensed HeartMath provider at Thrive Health & Wellness can help you prepare. Researchers have found that the presence or absence of fear and stress can directly impact the perception of labor pain [1]. Learning to reduce your anxiety about birthing could, therefore, help you reduce the impact of fear on your labor pain. HeartMath has received many reports over the years from people who say that utilizing these scientifically researched and validated tools helped decrease their pain [2]. You can learn to apply these tools to help manage your stress and thereby reduce your stress-related labor pain regardless of whether you intend to use medication for pain relief as well.
In addition, we offer birth preparation techniques based on the Birthing From Within ® approach to childbearing. This includes helping mom to prepare emotionally and psychologically for labor and birth as well as a variety of pain management techniques.
Thrive Health & Wellness is proud to partner with Moxie Moms.
