Dr. Toni Reid is excited to announce that she is now a DONA trained birth doula, providing continuous labour support as well as prenatal and postnatal care . A doula recognizes birth as an important life experience that will have a lifelong impact on the health of both the mother and child. Her main role is to help parents-to-be identify what they define as a positive birth experience and help them achieve this with informative emotional and physical support.
Did you know that continuous labour support has been shown to:
- improve maternal satisfaction
- increase the likelihood of vaginal delivery
- improve newborn APGAR scores
- reduce epidural use
- reduce C-section rate
Dr. Toni has also completed training in naturopathic labour support and uses the naturopathic tools of nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture to:
- address common concerns of pregnancy
- shorten the time interval between the expected due date and actual time of delivery
- prepare mom and dad physically and emotionally for the arrival of baby
- give baby the healthiest start possible
Call now to schedule a complimentary meeting with Dr. Toni to discuss how naturopathic prenatal and labour support can help to empower you during this exciting stage of life.
