I am currently only offering breastfeeding support in the Osan area. Please see this post to find people who work in the birthing field, such as birth doulas, breastfeeding counselors, childbirth educators, Dunstan Baby Language educators, HypnoBirthing® practitioners, IBCLCs, infant massage instructors, nutritionists, postpartum doulas, placenta encapsulation specialists, pre and post-natal massage therapists, and pre and post-natal yoga instructors. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
I highly recommend taking a birthing class. Birth can be challenging in any country, but even more so when you're abroad. Knowledge is power and knowing what options are available will help you approach your birth calmly. Since each person brings different knowledge to the class, no two classes are exactly the same. Below you can find topics that are usually discussed in class as well as teaching methods used. Many international health insurances cover birthing classes and invoices can be provided.
