Jardins de Naissance

Hello,

My name is Anne Caron Leclercq.  My family moved to Austin, Texas from France in January 2012. I have three  beautiful children, two boys and a girl.  My youngest was born  in Austin at the Austin Area Birthing Center

I love being a mother and caring for my children so I look forward to helping you prepare to enjoy and relax during the pregnancy.

I am very excited to meet you and share these very important months of your life.

My Personal Experience

During my three pregnancies, I practiced  the Aquatic Prenatal Class. It helped me relax and connect with my baby, and the breathing techniques in this class helped prepare me for childbirth.  I want to provide this experience to mothers-to-be during their pregnancy in Haptonomy that enhances the emotionnal bonding of mother, father and child.

Professional Experience

I am working as Midwife Assistant at Austin Area Birthing Center.

When living in France, I worked as a Midwife . I was self-employed and also worked at the hospital.

As a private midwife, I worked with pregnant women using Aquatic  Prenatal and Theorical Child Birth Education to help them relax and prepare for labor.

As a hospital midwife, I worked  with women from pregnancy through delivery and after the birth.  My work  included high-risk pregnancies.  I practiced haptonomic skills and knowledge to facilitate the labor and delivery process. I have assisted mothers with water birth and natural birth, as well as delivery with epidural or other techniques, depending on the choice of the parents.

I am skilled in Haptonomy Accompaniment and Post natal Education to help prepare for parenthood and breastfeeding. I also do Perineal Reeducation to help women post-delivery to rediscover a feeling of wholeness and recover her state of "being a woman" as well as "being mother".
