"We originally sought Staci's help because we had planned a natural childbirth using hypnobabies techniques, and she is well trained in this method. However, our son was stuck breech throughout the entire third trimester, and Staci helped us to do everything we possibly could to turn him (providing exercises and recommendations for acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage, and moxibustion). When it became clear our little boy was just simply going to be stuck, Staci gracefully helped us to navigate our options in terms of C-sections and external cephalic version with or without induction without passing judgement. Well, our little guy decided it was time to come on his own while still breech at 38 weeks before we could get to our version appointment. Staci met us at the hospital and strongly advocated for our wishes regarding a family centered a c-section which was not being offered on the Saturday I went into labor. Staci encouraged us to speak up, and in the end my son was able to be placed on my chest while the surgical team closed me up. It was wonderful to have her knowledge of what was happening to us, and to have her there to help us make important decisions and ensure our child was born as gently as possible. I also credit Staci with helping our son to breastfeed immediately and things have been smooth ever since. We didn't get the natural birth we hoped for, but having Staci made the decisions we did face much easier to make. She really goes to bat for her clients and cares about making the birth experience as great as it can be." - Kate, Nashville, TN
