What is a Holistic Birth & Postpartum Doula, and why should I have one when I give birth?

A holistic doula is a dedicated birth partner that will support you and your family emotionally, physically, and spiritually as you prepare to welcome your little one into the world. The ancient tradition of doulas as essential birth workers spans across cultures, and modern American parents are becoming hip to the significant benefits this kind of care can provide. Holistic doulas integrate numerous natural therapies and comfort measures to ensure you experience a safe, healthy pregnancy and delivery.

Studies on maternal health and birth outcomes show that people who work with doulas during their pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum period have improved health outcomes such as decreased stress levels, less painful labor, and quicker delivery times.

What is Vinyasa yoga?

In Sanskrit, the word vinyasa means “to place in a special way”. This energetic and form-focused method of yoga practice integrates breath work and aligned movement to revitalize the body, mind, and spirit.

Vinyasa practice will move you through multiple rounds of poses to warm up the muscles, generate heat through your chakras, and release tension in the body and mind through purposeful flows.

Can I do Prenatal yoga if I’m not pregnant?

What is Reiki?

Reiki originated as a form of alternative medicine in Japan. Rei-Ki means “universal life force energy”, and this practice focuses on the subtle energy that flows through all of our bodies. It is a gentle, safe, non-invasive healing modality that utilizes intentional hand movements along the body, highlighting energy centers to rebalance and cleanse the mind, body, and spirit.

Similar to massage therapy, Reiki promotes nervous system regulation through light- or no-touch methods to relax and revitalize our deepest energy stores. At Sacral Bloom Wellness, we also offer aromatherapy, sound healing, and crystal therapy add-on services to further enhance your Reiki session.
