Prenatal Services
Together with Doulananda Birth Services, we offer many different comfort and educational offerings to help your pregnancy be as healthy as possible.

Doula Services: “The word "doula" comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves" and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period. Studies have shown that when doulas attend birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.” http://www.dona.org/mothers/index.php

Doulananda currently has doula’s offering 'pay what you can' services to expecting moms as a part of their certification process. Doula services are normally $500 (can be broken down into payments). We will not turn away a mother in need of a doula due to finances! Call or email Melissa for more information: 483-1717 or email: doulananda@gmail.com, www.doulananda.com

Childbirth Education Classes:
General childbirth education, infant massage, breastfeeding and more will also be offered at the center soon! Call Melissa for more information: 483-1717

Hypnobirthing classes:
Doulananda Birth Services is pleased to offer HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method at Yoga Ananda. Hypnobirthing is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. The method teaches you that, in the absence of fear and tension, or special medical circumstances, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labor. You will gain an understanding of how the birthing muscles work in perfect harmony--as they were designed to--when your body is sufficiently relaxed and you trust birth. You will learn how to achieve this kind of relaxation, free of the resistance that fear creates, and you will learn to use your natural birthing instincts for a calm, serene and comfortable birth.

HypnoBirthing® Mothers are making choices -- creating change! In 2007 over 70% of HypnoBirthing® mothers birthing vaginally had unmedicated births.

YOU WILL LEARN:  Everything you need to know to achieve safer, easier and more comfortable birth  To explode the myth that pain is a necessary accompaniment to labor  What’s wrong with labor as it exists with most other childbirth methods  Techniques of deep relaxation to help you eliminate the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome  How your body is naturally designed to conceive, nurture and birth your baby with ease and comfort  To create your body’s own natural relaxant, the only safe labor enhancement  Natural ways to bring your body into labor without artificial chemical induction  How you and your birthing companion can create a birthing environment that is calm, serene and joyful, rather than tense and stressful  Gentle birthing techniques that allow you to breathe your baby into the world without the violence of hard physical pushing  To use your natural birthing instincts to birth your baby in a way that most mirrors the way that nature intended...
