Empowering Motherhood: New for 2020
An Integrative, Holistic Maternity Wellness program from onset of pregnancy through postpartum year
A comprehensive program that incorporates your prenatal care with thorough guidance and counselling in nutrition, exercise, mindfulness training, lactation, and natural childbirth preparation utilizing a time-proven, mediation focused method and doula support for delivery.
As Wombkeepers enters it seventh year in Montclair delivering unique maternity care, we are still striving to provide our patients with better options for their maternity care. We know that your care should include so much more than a seven minute checkup every few weeks.
What if, from the very onset of your pregnancy, someone was there to walk this journey with you? To be there to help navigate a healthy, holistic approach to this transition in your life that is effecting so much more than your physical body. Certainly providing the routine, prenatal care is essential, but equally important is preparing your mind and spirit for the birth journey and new motherhood.
The program is designed for both first time mothers, as well as mothers who are entering their second or third pregnancy, who are looking for a more complete approach to their care, striving for a healthier, more grounded pregnancy, and hoping for a more natural and empowered birth. For mothers desiring a VBAC (vaginal delivery after a previous cesarean), this program is ideal to help you meet your goal.

What would this journey look like for you?
Instead of brief short visits with your provider each month, each of our EMPOWERED MOTHERHOOD patients will join us on Thursday, from 5-7pm, for an evening that will include an individual appointment with Dr. Aristizabal or your midwife, a group education session (topics will rotate monthly and be trimester specific), a meeting with your Mother Mentor, who serves as your doula for the entire pregnancy, and a group support session, again with monthly rotating topics that are specific to your trimester. Yoga will follow at 7pm for those who wish to stay.
Throughout these sessions, you will receive complete preparation for a natural birth, breastfeeding preparation, guidance in family transitioning, nutrition, exercise, and so much more. The program will also provide a doula for labor and delivery support for all patients.
