Hello - thanks for asking! Here’s a step‑by‑step overview of how Renewing Rhythm’s services work, based only on the information available:

How the process works (step by step)

1. Decide which service you want

• Options include prenatal massage, postpartum massage, therapeutic massage (including TMJ/jaw work and intraoral techniques when appropriate), birth doula support (several packages), abortion or end‑of‑life doula support, cannabis doula guidance, or custom packages and add‑ons (e.g., bengkung belly binding, candid photos).

2. Book a complimentary consultation for doula services or schedule a massage

• For doula work, contact Renewing Rhythm to book a complimentary consultation via the contact link or email renewingrhythm@gmail.com.
• For massage, schedule online at the booking link: Schedule Your Massage.

3. Initial conversation / prenatal visit (for doula clients) or intake talk (for massage clients)

• Doula: 1-3 prenatal visits (depending on package) to get to know your hopes, preferences, comfort measures, partner involvement, and to build trust before labor.
• Massage: Before hands meet the body, there’s a conversation to set goals, note areas to focus on or avoid, and shape the session to your needs that day.

4. Ongoing prenatal care or regular massage sessions

• Doula: Ongoing support leading up to birth. Doula packages include on‑call availability starting at 36 weeks, lactation support, and a set number of massage sessions depending on the package.
• Massage: Individual sessions (60, 90, or 120 minutes) or multi‑pack options (3‑pack or 6‑pack) tailored to prenatal, postpartum, TMJ, therapeutic, or nervous‑system support.

5. Labor and continuous support (for doula clients)

• When labor is established, the doula provides continuous in‑person support: comfort measures, positions, physical and emotional support, partner coaching, and advocacy through whatever the birth brings (hospital, birth center, home birth, epidural, induction, or cesarean).
• If the doula cannot attend in person, virtual support and other assistance (including helping find backup support) are provided.

6. Birth photography, postpartum follow‑up, and additional services

• Depending on the chosen package, candid labor and/or newborn photos and postpartum visits are included.
• Postpartum follow‑up visits allow processing the birth experience, breastfeeding/lactation support, and continued postpartum massage options.
• Optional services and add‑ons (e.g., bengkung belly binding, scar work after cesarean when appropriate) can be included per package or purchased separately.

7. Payment, rates, and policies

• Doula packages are priced (examples in the context):
  • ROOT Essentials: $2000 (3 prenatal visits, 2 postnatal visits, on‑call at 36w, lactation support, 6×60min massages, candid birth photos)
  • SPROUT Standard: $4000 (3 prenatal, 2 postnatal, on‑call at 36w, lactation support, 12×90min massages, candid birth photos)

• Massage rates examples: 60 min $160, 90 min $240, 120 min $320. Pack discounts are available.
