Music Therapy Assisted Childbirth
In music therapy assisted childbirth, families work with a board-certified music therapist throughout pregnancy to develop an evidence-based birth plan that includes personalized playlists, custom womb songs, live musical support during birth, and considerations for using music during postpartum.
In each package:
Each music therapy assisted childbirth package includes three prenatal sessions, live support during labor and delivery, access to personalized playlists, recording of a custom womb song, and one postpartum session.
Who may benefit:
Music therapy assisted childbirth is perfect for parents who want to harness the power of music to create a loving, empowering birth experience for them and their baby.
Why use music:
Research shows that when used appropriately during pregnancy and childbirth, music can decrease pain and discomfort, create a sense of empowerment, and strengthen bonds between the birthing parents and baby.
When and where:
New Music Therapy Assisted Childbirth clients are accepted based on the availability of the therapist. Because the music therapist will be present during the birth, music therapy assisted childbirth packages are limited to parents planning to give birth in Middle TN.
Additional Services
Womb Song and Lullaby Creation
A womb song is an original song written for your baby to sing for them while still in utero to welcome them to the world. Each womb song is a personalized collaboration created by the parents and music therapist, and is crafted to be neurologically safe and stimulating for the baby.
In each package:
Each custom womb song package includes a 30-minute interview, revision, and professional recording.
Who may benefit:
The womb song package is perfect for parents who value the power of music, but don’t want a live music therapist to support them during labor. Womb songs also make a great personalized gift for expecting parents!
Why womb songs:
As early as 15 weeks, babies in the womb begin to hear the world around them. Research shows that not only do babies learn to recognize their parents’ voices before they’re born, but that they also recognize individual songs and melodies learned while still in the womb.
