Music Therapy Assisted Childbirth provides music, support, information, and education to the birthing family by someone who is both a board certified music therapist and music therapy assisted childbirth specialist, during pre-natal, labor, birthing and the immediate postpartum experience.

 

Music Therapy Assisted Childbirth (MTACB) is a great tool to aid in many aspects of the birthing process. Pain management, anxiety and birth fear reduction, stress management, breathing and relaxation techniques and much more can be addressed. Mothers and Fathers can participate in exercises to help produce their desired birth experience. 

 

 

 

How Music Can Function In Labor:

 

• Support Breathing

• Induce a calm, relaxing state

• Facilitate movement/position change

• Enhance comfort

• Evoke imagery

• Build energy

• Create or change a mood

• Express feelings; sadness, frustration, joy, fear

• Fill the space with pleasant sounds masking sounds of medical equipment

• Pass the time

• Reminisce, think of pleasant memories

• Help the birthing woman to let go of anything that is holding her back

• Enjoy the experience

• Connect with the baby

• Connect with her birth partner
