TENS Unit Rental

Using a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit can help reduce the perception of pain for many people in labour. 
The machines I rent are specifically designed for use during labour and birth. 

Evidence Based Birth has written this article that discussed the evidence for TENS use during labour: 
https://evidencebasedbirth.com/transcutaneous-electrical-nerve-stimulation-tens-for-pain-relief-during-labor/


TENS rental includes everything you need and detailed instructions.  It is fully sanitized before being dropped off to you around 37 weeks gestation, then picked up after the birth.

Fee: $60

*Sapphire, Emerald and Ruby Birth doula package clients do not pay a TENS unit rental fee.  The use of a TENS is included in their birth service package.
