Courtney D'Avella - Birth Doula & Kids Yoga Teacher

Courtney D'Avella - Birth Doula & Kids Yoga Teacher Certified Birth Doula - I completed my training and certification to offer Birth Doula services through Birth Arts International in 2022.

Certified Children’s Yoga Teacher - I completed my Yoga for Children Teacher Training in December, 2014 under the instruction of Gail Silver, J.D E-RYT, Maureen Heil, E-RYT and Anatomy Instructor, Heather Marie Miller. This training has prepared me to guide children from Pre-K through 5th Grade to a place of relaxation through asanas, magical meditations, and fun yoga related songs. My regular yoga and meditation practice has provided me strength, perspective, and the ability to better manage my thoughts and emotions, and I am so excited to pass on these benefits to your children! My training enables me to support clients prenatally, in labor and deliver, and through classes and support circles.

Take your deeper knowing from reflection to realization. This document will walk you through intentional journaling exercises that will help you prepare for birth. Beyond just a checklist of interventions you do or don’t want, you will have the opportunity to identify your philosophy of birth, your communication and learning styles, and questions to get you and your partner practicing comfort measures. With clear directions on how to communicate the answers from your journaling exercise into a clear, easy to read birth preferences document, this tool is what you need to move through your birth preparation. This document will also follow you through to your postpartum period with gentle questions to explore after your birth. All purchases include a free consult with me! courtneydavella.com/products
