Doula Services: Birth Year Services

Overview | Packages & Rates

The founder of Gentle Wind Healing, Jane LaBelle offers a variety of birth year services to meet  your unique needs.

Balance Before Labor  This is a proprietary bodywork session crafted by Jane to help women energetically balance in preparation for labor.  It is deeply relaxing, balancing, and strengthens the energies that become most active during labor.

Pregnancy Deep Relaxation This class is also crafted by Jane, incorporating movements for physical balance, a head-to-toe body check system to awaken and clear your energy which relaxes the body, and grounding meditations to calm the mind, and connect with baby. 6 wks.  Private/couples instruction by appt.

Qigong and Acupressure  For Discomforts of Pregnancy  Many common discomforts of pregnancy can be relieved or reduced through acupressure or specific qigong movements.  Clinic sessions combine bodywork and instruction in self-healing techniques for issues such as sciatica, edema, headaches, nausea, and mood swings.

Infant Massage Instruction  Jane offers instruction in gentle Tui Na massage.  Simple and gentle, Tui Na for children balances the energies, promoting healthier, brighter children.  Includes a full-body routine, plus some useful points to massage for common discomforts, such as  colds, colic and teething.

Keepsake Belly Casting  Best performed at 38-39th week.  Jane provides and applies casting material to preserve the beauty and fullness of essence in late pregnancy.  The cast is finished with a topcoat of white, and blue or pink scarf for hanging.  She will collaborate with you if you desire a specific design or paint treatment.

Postpartum Rebalancing  Jane provides a clinical healing session, in the mother’s home, after baby arrives.  This type of session will be deeply relaxing, yet with a focus on rebuilding and revitalizing mother’s energy reserves.  We would also address any symptom unique to the postpartum period in these sessions, as well.

Inducing Labor/Turning Breech  Chinese medicine offers a tradition of moxibustion, acupressure and qigong for many issues related to birth.  Jane is available for in-home or clinic sessions to attempt to induce labor, and/or turn breech presentations. 

Emotional Balancing  The birth year holds an array of experiences to process, including many that do not match joyous expectations. Chinese medicine recognizes the impact of depression, grief, loss, anger, and fear, so as a practitioner, Jane offers her clinical healing sessions, self-healing instruction, and essential oils to support you, as you process and integrate experiences from your life’s journey, reclaiming your inner calm and healthy balance.
