Adoula
A spiritual Adoula is a person who teaches prospective parents how to connect with the soul of their incoming baby, even before conception or early in pregnancy.
This not only allows the entire birthing process to be smoother and easier, it helps create awareness that birth can be a conscious choice on the part of the future parents and the incoming child. Birth is not only a physical experience, but also a spiritual process that allows the energy of the soul to be embodied.
Benefits of working with an Adoula
Choosing birth consciously and connecting with the incoming baby even prior to the birth has positive effects on both the parents and the baby. The chance of getting pregnant increases, the likelihood of miscarriage decreases, pregnancy and delivery are easier, the need for medicalization during childbirth, cesarean section and the likelihood of postpartum depression decreases, the child is happier, healthier, develops faster, and the pregnancy and postpartum periods are much easier for him.
A child’s first years of life are incredibly important for their further development, and this early connection leaves an additional positive impact on the child. Because of this connection they feel even more comfort and security. Parents interact with their child, perceive them, and create a strong bond before they even hold them in their arms for the first time. The bond remains strong even after birth, and the trusting and believing in oneself that parents gain during these processes stay for life.
5 MEETINGS OF A CONSCIOUS JOURNEY
How does working with an Adoula look like?
Every meeting with an adoula is a step towards a more conscious and loving journey through conception, pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.
Introductory meeting where we talk about the role of the Adoula and the benefits of cooperating with one for the parents and the child. We talk about birth as a conscious choice, and you are given some additional information on how to support your body and soul during conception and pregnancy period. After the introductory meeting, you are given a questionnaire to help you get clarity on why you want to have children.
I present to you the mystery of birth, and what is happening in the other realms - where the soul of your incoming baby currently is. We talk about possible choices. The choice always happens on both sides - you choose the baby and the baby chooses you. After the meeting you receive the second questionnaire.
We discuss your answers from the questionnaire, and in a guided meditation, I teach you how to connect with the incoming baby. You are also presented a supporting energy that will guide you during those processes. From here on, you make the connection daily, approximately 20 min/day.
Again, I guide you into meditation to connect with your baby. And we talk about ways to prepare for delivery. A child-friendly birth is very important for the baby, as this first transition and its stay in the womb greatly affects its further development. In this stage you are given various helpful information for pregnancy and birth.
You are given instructions on how to make a connection during different stages of pregnancy. Once more, I guide you into meditation - connection. We discuss how your connecting has been going so far and if there are any challenges. After five meetings, parents are equipped with all the tools and information to continue connecting on a daily basis, independently.
Parents must be willing to make 20 min/day for connecting with the soul of the incoming baby. The connection should be made at approximately the same time each day. You can begin working with an Adoula before conception, which is really special - getting to know your baby that early. If you are undergoing a fertility insemination process or the mother is more than 6 months pregnant, our cooperation as taught by the Birth School, is not possible. In this case, you are invited to an individual counseling to see if there is any other way I can support you, especially with support in early pregnancy, encourage you to do early preparation for childbirth and support with meditation, which helps you to be more connected to yourself and to the baby that is coming.
Working with an Adoula is meant for both parents or just the mother. All sessions are held online and last 60 minutes.
You can keep regular meetings with an Adoula up until 9 months after delivery. Breathing during this period helps to maintain the flow of energy, gently releasing energies accumulate during pregnancy and childbirth, and it is very beneficial for the baby in bridging of soul energy into the body. Adoula can also play an important role during childbirth and is also chosen by some parents.
Dear parents,
as an adoula, I help you make conscious choices about your birth and support you with information and tools that make the birth journey easier.
