Our Patient-Centered Coaching Approach
Tammy arrived in L&D yesterday night looking excited and somewhat anxious. Between contractions, she handed you her birth plan, which clearly stated that she would like to have a natural birth and avoid routine medical interventions. You wholeheartedly respect and support her wishes, as those are fully aligned with your managers' efforts to reduce cesarean rates and increase vaginal deliveries. However, Tammy is in a lot of pain and she was found to be only 1 cm dilated after many hours of labor.
If you're not positively sure about those questions, and want to learn effective coaching strategies that establish rapport and partnership, and fully engage your patients in the birthing process so they remain true to their vision, read on. Birth Coach Method has a one-day training program developed just for L&D nurses, and we're happy to hold it at your place of work.
"Rather than birth necessarily being a medical event managed through objective scientific knowledge and technology, it is seen as an embodied social, psychological and spiritual process, one which requires supportive relationships, personal knowledge, and understanding.“

Reviews
Here are some of the things nurses said when they were asked: "What are you taking away from the workshop?"
"Thank you for organizing all this and seeing the need for a labor coaching class; this is where I struggle the most - how to manage unmedicated patients.
I loved the hands on experience. It really embedded the new information in my head. I will definitely use these techniques with my laboring patients, whether they are in early labor, active or with epidural. The class overall covered everything I expected and more. I'm glad we talked about early labor and epidurals, I wasn't expecting that. It was very helpful."

"I really enjoyed learning about mirroring (the video was very interesting!) and establishing rapport. I also really like working together on case studies to roll play responses for different types of patient scenarios. I like how you had different modes of instruction, from the video to the group discussion, to the breathing exercises, to keep us awake and engaged. And of course, we definitely liked the hands-on skills, and how to use each technique for the stage and phase of labor that is appropriate. shortly after the workshop, we did put our skills into action and we had a phenomenal success story facilitating a safe vaginal birth."
Lauren Severiano, ValleyCare Stanford, CA
"The coaching questions are so valuable. I can’t wait to ask every patient: “How can I best support you right now? It’s such a simple way to understand her my patient's beliefs and needs."
"I thought it was interesting to evaluate perspectives; doula vs. nursing and how the two can work together as a team... I learned multiple tools that can be applied to the daily nursing practice of caring for the labor patient. Communicating differently with patients and their support system when a plan for childbirth needs to be determined on admission, and providing options and encouraging a smooth transition through labor became easier with the coaching strategies. I thought the workshop was great for team-building and bonding amongst staff."
Megan McKerrow, Stanford ValeyCare
