What is Gilligan's Guide

"Gilligan’s Guide is an algorithm (a graphic chart that is easy to follow) which assists the pregnant person’s body to rotate their unborn infant into the optimal or best position for birth. We refer to this as “Maternal Positioning for Optimal Fetal Positioning”. It is safe, simple and efficient for everyone to use."

It is proven to reduce laboring time so that you can have a positive birth experience. Learn more about her guide here.

Is a Doula right for you?

"A skilled doula empowers a woman to communicate her needs and perceptions and actualize her dream of a healthy, positive birth experience." The stats speak for themselves:

  • The results show that expectant mothers matched with a doula had better birth outcomes than did mothers who gave birth without involvement of a doula.
  • Doula-assisted mothers were four times less likely to have a LBW baby
  • Two times less likely to experience a birth complication involving themselves or their baby
  • And significantly more likely to initiate breastfeeding. Nearly all (90.4%) of the adult mothers assisted by a doula chose to initiate breastfeeding.

Which techniques do I like to use to support your birth?
  • Cook's Counter Pressure
  • Gilligan's Guide to decrease labor times
  • Gentle Massage and touch 
  • Words of affirmation

"I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding support Chelsea provided during the birth of my baby, who unexpectedly arrived 5 weeks early. Her expertise in crafting a birthing plan and knowledge of birthing positions proved so helpful. She skillfully employed different methods to ease my back pain throughout the labor and ensured my partner was actively engaged and supportive. Her attention to detail, coupled with excellent care, created a comforting environment."
