TOKYO SMALL BUSINESS ROUND-UP

3/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Welcome to The Tokyo Small Business Round-up, the place to find your favourite businesses who are trading online.

When this whole thing has passed (and it WILL pass), imagine the businesses you want to still see operating. Support them by buying vouchers, ordering takeout, learning with them online or taking advantage of their online offers. If you are not in a position to buy, you can still help by following the businesses on their social media channels, commenting and sharing their posts. It would mean the world to us Tokyo small business owners if you could share this post to wherever your Tokyo friends are hanging out.

If you'd like to be added to the list, please email [email protected].

Thank you for your support. Stay well.

TOKYO DOULA SUPPORT
For those looking for pregnancy, labour and post-partum support.  
A wide variety of services are provided, including childbirth preparation classes, breathing for birth classes, infant care classes, breastfeeding consultations and more.  
Right now, due to the Coronavirus and with the state of emergency in Tokyo, almost all hospitals have restricted attendance at births to just the labouring woman (no husbands or other support people), so it’s more important than ever to be as prepared as possible. I aim to give women the confidence they need to have a smooth and hopefully positive experience in very unprecedented circumstances.

I’ve also had experience in over 120 births at 30 different hospitals and birth clinics around Tokyo and the surrounding prefectures and I’m always happy to share my perspectives on them.  

OFFERING
Right now all of my services are being offered as online classes and consultations, with private classes in person *possible* on a case by case basis.  Please get in touch if you think my support could benefit you.
