Patient-Centered Care and Our Coaching Approach
Patient-Engagement, Person-Centered Care, and partnership. These are the three keys leading to the desired increase in Vaginal Birth. They were also found to be the leading principles of safety of care and patient satisfaction in general healthcare. Obstetric caregivers are hardly trained with the interpersonal conversational skills needed to establish this type of partnership between laboring persons, their support group, and the medical staff. We enrich obstetric nurses with the Coaching strategies and traditional labor support tools that will help achieve these desired goals. We got you covered!
Obstetric nurses are asked to increase the rates of healthy and vaginal births. This expectation makes nurses change agents and puts them in a leadership position - obstetric nurses are called to lead a conceptual and behavioral change in both birth givers' and physicians' attitudes toward childbirth. Our programs enrich you and your nursing staff with conversational coaching strategies that actualize this desired change in maternal care.
Person-centered maternal care, patient autonomy, satisfaction, and engagement aren't achieved with clinical skills but instead are the results of powerful and skillful coaching conversations.
That's what we're about!
"As an RN, I’ve practiced this method with all patients at the clinic. I’ve noticed, especially those that are “guarded” a bit, that they are willing to open up more and share more information, and their walls have gone down little by little. I feel that I am able to gain their trust faster.”

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."
