Support for Mamas on Bedrest!

Our coaching and support is online, live and enable you to see me and for me to see you in real time. We can talk and interact and I can answer your questions right there on the spot. You will need a high speed internet connection, with webcam and audio. Our coaching program addresses such topics as:

•     Keeping cash flowing while on bed rest

•      “Flexing the mom muscle” to actively and effectively mother older children while on bed rest

•     Partner in your health care by getting the information needed  to  make informed decisions while making your concerns, opinions and wishes known

•     Creating birth plans, integrating what you’d “like” to happen with medically necessary treatments and procedures, understanding implications of all possible birth outcomes

•     Minimize depression and anxiety by fostering a healthy mind-body connection.

Researchers in the field of high risk pregnancy have documented that high risk pregnancy women provided with support and a sense of community tend to have reduced incidence/manifestation of their complications and their pregnancies are more likely to go to term*.

Coaching comes in 4 one hour weekly sessions for a cost of $397.

*Note: No Medical treatment or advice will be given in these sessions. All medical question will be directed back to each participant’s clinician.
