What is TENS Certification?

Let's talk through what matters most to you and how tools like TENS can fit into a plan that feels supportive and grounded.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a small device that uses gentle electrical pulses through pads placed on the back. During labor, it can provide another sensation to focus on and may help ease discomfort, particularly in early labor.

TENS as Part of Your Birth Support

As a TENS-certified doula, I can help you understand when and how to use your TENS unit while you remain completely in control. It can be used alongside breathing, movement, position changes, counter pressure, and other comfort techniques.

TENS is a non-medical comfort measure and does not replace medical care. If you have questions about whether it’s appropriate for you, please check with your healthcare provider.
