Hi! I'm Yiska Obadia.
I've been a bodyworker for nearly 30 years. After attending my first birth in 2001, I became a doula and eventually created Comforting Touch classes for doulas and expectant parents after realizing how much I could offer from my collective experiences working with thousands of pregnant, postpartum and birth doula clients over the years. Making touch more accessible, comfortable, sustainable, and supportive has become one of my life's greatest passions; offering doulas, midwives, birth educators, pregnant people and their perinatal counterparts the insights and skills they need to share Comforting Touch with confidence.
Why Choose This Program?
The Comforting Touch for Birth Professionals Resource Library is tailored specifically for birth professionals who want to offer more to their clients. Created by Yiska Obadia, a bodyworker and doula with decades of experience, this program provides easy-to-follow techniques that help partners feel capable and prepared to offer hands-on support during labor.
With this resource, your clients will feel more comfortable and supported, while you save time and even create an additional revenue stream for your practice. Choose this program to add value to your services, strengthen your client relationships, and make your job easier—all while ensuring your clients have the tools they need for a positive birth experience.
FAQ
What's included in the on-demand class?
The class covers a clear explanation of the gate control theory of pain, as well as other principles of Comforting Touch designed to improve partner's support skills and boost confidence, especially during labor. They will learn counter-pressure techniques, like the hip squeeze (taught with my signature sustainability approach) as well as techniques for back labor support. They will also learn massage and other relaxation techniques and understand what to do (and not do), and when, as well as how to modify for different positions throughout labor. The class even covers a bit about pelvic balancing as it relates to optimal fetal positioning, reinforcing the significance of this component of pregnancy and birth.
Does it matter how many clients I have?
No. You'll have unlimited access to share it with all of your personal clients for the full length of your yearly subscription.
Do you just send me an access link when I sign up?
Yep! You'll receive an email after purchase with your personal link to pass along to your clients whenever and however you wish. You can also promote this value-added resource in your marketing.
What happens at the end of my year subscription?
You will have an opportunity to renew and receive a new access link for the following year. Though you will likely want to renew, you are under no obligation to do so and will not be charged unless you actively renew.
What about my clients who are un-partnered?
While much of the content is geared toward couples, your single clients may wish to watch and practice with a friend or family member, and will benefit from the parts of the resource page that offer self-applied comfort measures, and the baby massage portion.
Can I sell this to my clients for a profit?
Yes! For example, if you charge an extra $100 per client for a package that includes this resource for 15 clients, you'd turn an extra $1200 profit on your $299 investment! I do recommend you include the cost in your fee structure to encourage clients to see it as an integral part of their program with you, rather than as an optional add-on, but apart from this recommendation, I'm in full support of this contributing to your revenue growth.
