Welcome
Pregnancy is one of the most special times in a woman's life. The
pregnant mother's body is blossoming as it grows and nourishes a
new life. With all of the changes happening in a woman's body, it
is important to consider what you are doing to facilitate a healthy
pregnancy and birth. We offer integrated services to families in
Jacksonville, FL during the childbearing year to support a healthy
and happy mother and baby.
We currently offer prenatal yoga classes, therapeutic pregnancy
and postpartum massage, as well as doula/labor support services
and childbirth classes. We are dedicated to making your
pregnancy as comfortable as possible from conception all the way
to the birth of your child. We even provide specialized postpartum
support with therapeutic massage for easing the body back into
its natural alignment.
The Prenatal Massage Specialist, Kristi Gabriel, is one of the
most qualified in all of Jacksonville. This means that she
specializes in the exact massage techniques needed by
expectant mothers. A good prenatal massage can ease many of
the discomforts that are often the side effects of pregnancy. The
secret is, a skilled Pregnancy Massage Therapist can go right to
the root of the pain and discomfort, and relieve it. A combination
between a session of deep relaxation added to the skill of a
trained neuromuscular therapist allows you the most relief from the
common discomforts of pregnancy. With regularly scheduled
massage treatments, most of the pain and discomfort can be
eliminated completely.
Rather than getting a pregnancy massage from someone who is a
jack of all trades, who only sees a pregnant mother every month or
two, experience a massage from an expert who is skilled in the
massage YOU need, a massage designed especially for the
mother-to-be.
But what are clients saying about their massages?
"…I had been finding it increasingly hard to get much sleep, for
numerous pregnancy related reasons, two of which were very
painful hips and lower back ache. Then I received a therapeutic
massage that worked on the trigger points and after the first visit I
felt relief from the pain. I continued with regular massages for the
duration of my pregnancy and the hip pain totally vanished.”
Prenatal yoga is a natural addition to maintaining a comfortable
pregnancy throughout these 9 months of changes. It aids in
providing increased flexibility, focus and concentration, and
decrease swelling, anxiety and stress. Connecting with your baby
through your yoga classes offers an emotional bond as well as the
bond that can be formed through the camaraderie with other
pregnant moms.
Be sure when you sign up for a yoga class, you aren't just
modifying your regular yoga moves. It's so much better for your
pregnant body if you take pregnancy yoga with a true specialist.
One of the top prenatal yoga instructors in Jacksonville, Michelle
Baur, has been a group exercise instructor since 1995, but
specializes in the unique needs of moms during pregnancy and
postpartum.
What do moms who take prenatal yoga have to say?
“I was able to labor using many of the positions I had learned in
prenatal yoga.”
"Your Yoga class has been such a vital component of both my
pregnancies. You have helped me feel healthy and flexible
during the whole 9 months."
Doula/labor support services are for expectant mothers who want
to experience a fully supported positive birth experience. A doula
is able to provide gentle support and expertise that the whole
family needs, when you need it the most...during your labor and at
the birth of your baby. Heather Harper Palmer has attended well
over 100 births and is knowledgeable about all kinds of situations
and experiences. Your doula will stay with you through the
duration of your labor, assisting you with breathing and relaxation
techniques, physical comfort measures, as well as position
changes. On top of that, you don't have to try to remember
everything about labor and birth - the doula is an expert and can
be there to help answer questions in a way that you can
understand and help you get the birth that you desire. Most of all,
the doula is the only person involved that can focus primarily on the
care for the mother's emotional transition into becoming a new
mother. That is an aspect often overlooked when so many others
have to look out for the physical safety and well being of the
mother and baby first.
If you were considering the need for a doula, feel free to read the
article I recently wrote called “5 Reasons why you need a doula in
Jacksonville” that was recently featured on EzineArticles.com.
Childbirth Education is the final key to having an informed birth in
Jacksonville. Your childbirth educator will guide you through all of
the information you need to be prepared for your upcoming birth.
Jacksonville childbirth classes run the gamut from weekend
workshops to 12-week courses. Our childbirth classes will help
you be fully informed in the process of birth, preparation for your
baby's birth, through postpartum and breastfeeding - because we
teach the cream of the crop classes - 12 Week Natural Childbirth
Classes.
Parents are so informed and prepared for their birthing
experience when they attend a 12-week Natural Childbirth class to
prepare for their experience. Even moms that are on the fence
about whether they want a natural childbirth will benefit from this
fully informational class. It offers so much to help mom stay healthy
and low risk, giving her the most options when it comes to her
birth.
We advocate for moms to consider what *they* want from this
experience. The dads often comment that they love the classes as
much as the moms when they feel so prepared to support their
partners through the birth experience. Please visit our Childbirth
Education page to learn more about the best childbirth classes in
Jacksonville!
More information about each of the services is provided on the
individual pages throughout the website. Feel free to read more

Doula Pages. Then contact the practitioner directly for more
information, to schedule classes or the book an appointment.
