Pre-Conception Counselling
Planning to build a family is a sacred path.
There is much to consider - lifestyle, finances, relationships, so much change. And growth! Expanding perspectives, logistical concerns, conflicting thoughts and realities as you lean into your hopes and dreams for the future.
Having traversed these thresholds and spaces with hundreds of couples, my goal is to provide a safe space for you to open up to the potential and dreams within you. To resource you with the confidence, clarity, and connection you need as you make decisions and take action on building your family.
What we might cover..
-Family planning: What does it really mean?
-Tracking your cycle and learning your rhythms, together
-Values alignment: how are you united, and where do you differ from your partner?
-Practical matters: How much does having a baby really cost, and where will it come from? Available supports, emotional labour, and the true and holistic “cost” of pregnancy and parenthood.
-Non violent communication, models for fostering an emotionally safe home space to process feelings, concerns, and fears when they arise.
-Discovery of your “why”. What is leading you to the family path? What obstacles do you forsee, and what are you hoping to gain?
Children are quite literally, our future. If we can set the stage by making conscious, connected choices and building a solid family foundation, we are doing our entire community and planet a great and meaningful service.
Children thrive in emotionally & physically safe, connected, secure environments. Parenting is a mindset that, ideally, starts prior to even becoming pregnant. In the ways we communicate with our spouses, how we nourish and honour each other and ourselves, we are setting the framework for our future children’s lives. Take your time. Know your why, and resource yourself with guidance, wisdom, and available tools.
