The transition to motherhood is a very special time in a woman’s life. As a certified birth doula, Newborn Care Specialist and mother of four, my goal is to make every woman feel safe, confident and supported, not only during labor and delivery, but in pregnancy as well. I do this by providing physical and emotional support for women and their families, including birth education and planning, massage, breathing and relaxation techniques, comfort measures and positioning during labor. I have many resources and recommendations for just about anything birth- and baby-related. My passion is to help every woman and her family to be as prepared as possible to welcome their new baby into the world. Free consultations.

Ariya offers full-service chiropractic care for every stage of a woman’s life from birth through post-menopause, including pregnancy. Chiropractic care during pregnancy has become an essential part of many women’s prenatal care. The Ariya Family Chiropractic approach is to provide a woman with the most stable environment for her baby’s development, which involves keeping the spine free of misalignments, most specifically in the pelvic region. The adjustments are very gentle and 100% safe for the baby and mother. Ariya chiropractors are trained to perform the Webster’s Technique for breech positioning, a non-invasive, painless protocol for turning babies in utero. Our doctors have experienced much success with this treatment and regularly receive referrals from obstetricians and midwives in the area.

Yoni Steaming

 

Lucid Living   

Natasha Foreman

300 E. Grace St.  |  804-592-0747  |  LucidLivingRVA.com

For your Yoni Steaming session, we’ll perform a thorough intake so we can customize your herbs to your womb story. Yoni Steaming can provide toning, strengthening and reconnection. On a clinical level, it can provide healing typically addressed by traditional gynecological visits. Postpartum Yoni Steaming can expedite healing and result in a full recovery. Specifically, lochia drains after the first four-to-six steam sessions, the uterus shrinks back to size after one week, and after one month, the canal is tightly closed. Yoni Steaming has also shown to resolve complications like hemorrhoids, contractions, infections, painful stitches, constipation, incontinence, prolapse and water retention.
