A few nice words…
“Jennifer, I will never forget looking into your eyes during my labor and feeling so encouraged and safe to be in that moment. Thank you for guiding me on this amazing journey. It was truly a monumental day and I am so happy that I can look back on it with pure joy. Thanks for your supportive spirit and guiding soul.” ~Sarah
“Five years ago, I had my first daughter, and the birth was complicated and (at moments) quite scary. Luckily, for the birth of my second daughter in December, 2008, I found Jennifer Wolfe. Jennifer was an amazing coach and expert guide through my entire delivery. She helped me stay calm and focused, because she was always so calm and focused. She knew all the procedures and medications available to me, and helped me make smart decisions throughout. Moreover, she was tireless during a 24-hour labor, giving encouragement, back rubs, and invaluable input. Even the labor nurses at Mills-Peninsula Hospital mentioned to me several times that I was lucky to have her as my doula, as they considered her the best in the Peninsula. I’m convinced I wouldn’t have had the positive birth experienced I’d had without Jennifer at my side!” ~ Talila Baron
What is a Doula?
A doula provides informational, physical and emotional support to pregnant women and their families/partners before and throughout the birthing process. A doula typically meets with expectant families a few times prior to the birth, offering information and assessing their individual needs and desires to have the birth experience that they choose.
Dolphin Doulas
Our doulas are on call 24/7, 2 weeks before and after the expected due date, and can be accessed at any point to answer any questions or concerns.
Once the woman goes into active labor, the doula typically labors with the woman in the home and accompanies them to the hospital, where they stay with the woman until approx an hour after the birth; assisting with initial breastfeeding efforts, if desired.
Our doulas will visit with mom and baby a couple weeks after the birth to make sure everyone is well, as well as answer any questions, and provide resources and tips as needed.
The Dolphin Doula Method™
Dolphin Yoga & Doula Center offers a unique experience for pregnant women to get in touch with their bodies and learn about their individual potential for coping with and enjoying their pregnancy, childbirth and transition to motherhood.
For the laboring woman we offer our Dolphin Method Doula Services, designed to enhance the joy of birthing by creating a safe and caring environment, implementing our unique birthing techniques, and providing you with informational and physical support. As a cornerstone of our doula care, all Dolphin Doulas are trained in the Dolphin Method Hypnosis for Childbirth; a series of techniques developed by Jennifer Wolfe.
Dolphin Method Hypnosis for Childbirth is a very powerful tool in helping to create a positive pregnancy, labor and delivery. By inducing a deep state of relaxation you are able to lessen the fear and anxiety of the birth experience thereby improving your overall sense of well-being and security.
Hypnosis for Childbirth helps the pregnant woman adjust mentally and physically to the dramatic changes happening to her body and life. By practicing deep relaxation through self-hypnosis, the expectant mother strengthens her bond with baby that helps facilitate parent-infant attachment after birth.
Hypnosis for Childbirth can be used for virtually any pregnancy related ailment and is particularly effective with:
Anxiety/ Fear • Pain Management • Headaches • Fatigue/ Sleeplessness
Sleep Problems • Morning Sickness • Labor & Delivery • Stress/ Tension
Everyone who signs up with for doula services will receive a hypnosis download to help prepare for labor. This recording contains two programs; a 12 and 40 minute hypnosis induction that guides you through a deep relaxation. Used daily, the recording can help you learn to relax your mind and body so that a relaxed state becomes second nature.
