6/29/10: Womb Health Online Course - Addressing Reproductive Challenges Prior to and During Pregnancy
Womb Health Course
Instructor: Nicole Tucker, Lic. L.C.C.
Maintaining a healthy womb is vital to mother's health, in general, and to provide a safe and balanced home for her growing baby. In order to accomplish this goal, all existing reproductive challenges, such as fibroids, endometriosis, and cysts, must be acknowledged and can be holistically addressed. On a physical level, these imbalances can cause severe pain, leading to a disruption in quality of living. Energetically, they are blockages within the woman's thought processes, belief systems, and emotional life that have landed and taken tangible form in her physical body.
This manifestation poses a potential health risk for her baby in-utero as he or she requires an unencumbered and unchallenged womb space to thrive in the best health. Though it is the baby's soul request to inhabit such a womb for its own personal life lessons, the mother can still consciously choose to heal the space and alter their realities.
In this course, we will explore the possible reasons why the reproductive challenges have been manifested, the health risks to both mother and baby, and the multi-tude of holistic options that can successfully assist the healing process.
Non-pregnant women with reproductive challenges are encouraged to take the class.
Date: Tuesday; June 29th, 2010

Reflexology: Safe, Gentle Approach to Assist Labor Induction and Balance Breastmilk Flow
It was found that by administering direct, gentle pressure in certain parts of the feet there was an effect in related areas in the body. The feet are a mirror ('reflexsion') of the body, hence Reflexology! By applying skilled and specific thumb, finger and hand techniques to these pressure points or reflexes, you have the opportunity to discover where pain and challenge may lie in the body and utilizing Reflexology to assist in addressing it.
Regarding labor induction, it is best to request after 40 weeks of gestation. At this time, the gentle method of Reflexology can be applied to assist in stimulating movement and encouraging labor. A trained and qualified Reflexologist, in partnership with mom and baby's intention, can apply this special technique to the area of the feet that correspond to the reproductive system.
The same safe and non-invasive approach can be used if breastmilk flow is a challenge, whether too little or too much. By administering Reflexology finger techniques to the pressure or reflex points that correspond to the mammary glands, a mother has the opportunity to unblock channels that may have interfered with the flow of her breastmilk, and, in the same vein, the technique can also slow down/balance the flow, if too abundant.
Assisting labor induction and balancing breastmilk flow with Reflexology can be accomplished in one or multiple sessions. Other factors may affect these concerns; they would also need to be addressed as part of the Reflexology protocol and/or with other wellness modalities, such as Aromatherapy, Herbal Care, Flower Essences and Energywork.

May 25th: I'm Teaching a Webinar on Allergy Care for Moms and Babies
Allergy Care: A Baby's (and Mother's) Guide to Immunity
Instructor: Nicole A. Tucker
Date: Tuesday; May 25th, 2010
Time: 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time
(5:00 p.m. Pacific, 7:00 p.m. Central & 8:00 p.m. Eastern)
Course Overview
Whether it is seasonal allergy, food allergy, or fabric allergy, these forms of hyper-sensitivities may indicate an imbalance within the body's systems. Common allergic reactions include hay fever, hives, eczema, asthma attacks and to the stinging of insects, such as bees and wasps, and to a growing number of medications, as antibiotics, penicillin, and aspirin.
On a physical level, an allergy is considered a disorder of the immune system, but it can be digestive and respiratory. On a spiritual level, an allergy may indicate a fear or a panic that the individual is holding onto and this overreact or become "hypersensitive" when he or she perceives an attack.
Either way allergies can be potentially dangerous, especially in babies; it then becomes vital to address immediately and with a safe and gentle protocol. Most allergies begun in-utero, so it is important to examine, if possible, the mother's diet, emotional life and response to stress, as these potential factors may have contributed to baby's allergies.
In this course, we will explore the different forms of allergies, their impact and the best variety of natural therapy options to build immunity and successfully deal with an onset.

Everyday is Earth Day!
April 22nd is revered as Earth Day, though it is important to care for the planet everyday. As we move forward in acknowledging the value of caring for the Earth, I encourage you to view the planet as a living, breathing energy that we co-exist, co-create and co-manisfest with.
Furthermore, I empower you to see and utilize Earth's garden as the solution and remedy to all that ails us. Natural healthcare solutions as Herbal Medicine, Essential Oils (Aromatherapy), Homeopathy, Enzyme Therapy, Flower Essences, all derive from nature. I am sure most of you use these remedies in some form or another and may not realize the extent of the benefits. For you Rosemary chicken lovers, herb of Rosemary has hepatic properties, which makes it an excellent tonic for the liver, which is responsible for detoxifying the body and emotions, hormonal health, digestive support and a great deal more.
My maternal grandmother saves the orange skin after peeling, allows it to dry and makes tea with it. It is unclear to me if she knows the vast benefits, but, by making tea with the orange skin, the essential oils inside would submerge in the tea, making it, not only tasty, but, therapeutic. Essential Oil from Orange is a digestive aid, promotes sunny, cheery moods, and much more. Essential Oils, in general, are a staple in most major food and beverage industries, see list below:
Bergamot - Earl Grey Tea
Sweet Birch - Root Beer
Cinnamon and Wintergreen - Coca Cola
Clove - Toothpaste
Cardamom - Spice for cooking (curry)
Black Pepper - Alcoholic drinks
Cajeput - Dental and pharmaceutical work
This Earth Day and onward, I encourage you to see the planet as a gift bearing many healing resources that benefit all living things. Learn more about my company's nature-derived services at http://www.wholecreations.com/themodalities.html.

Did You Just Slap Your Baby In the Face?
Walked out of my home and looked up the block just in time to see a mother slap her 1 year old in the face. Took my shades off and thought "did I really just see that?" I started to walk towards them and thought "I must say something, I know she may curse or do something else, but , f*&k it!!!"
I'm further assessing the situation as I get closer to them. The one-year old was unmoved when she got hit, which leads me to think that this has happened before. The mother appeared angry, frustrated and used her daughter as an outlet.
I knew I wanted to say something, enough to get her attention and possibly out some of her fire, but nothing aggressive. I said, "Did you just slap your baby in the face?" She turned her eyes from me and nervously tended to another baby in the back stroller. I knew that presenting the question to her would let her know that the behavior/abuse is exposed. Yes, it happened outside, but , it's a different perception when you know someone have witnessed you commit the crime.
I'm sure we all masterminded the whole experience, which prompts me to believe that she wanted to bring this darkness to light.
Not sure what their reality will be after I've walked away. Let's hope/project for the best.

What to Expect from Your Birth Doula
Every woman deserves to have a team of nurturing, knowledgeable and proactive people supporting her as she gives birth; her system of care providers should be in place to handle issues A through Z. Birth Doula or Birth Assistant is one such team member that is becoming a commonplace during labor and delivery. S(he) is there to provide emotional and informational support for mother, baby and father, as well as, act as a liaison between parent(s) and midwife or doctor.
A desire for natural, safe and non-invasive birthing is on the rise as mothers want to forgo the possible negative side effects of conventional medication and fully feel and embrace their bodies and babies.

She Thinks She's Fat...
Met a young girl (about 9 y.o.) recently at the supermarket. I bought food and sat at the counter to eat. Her dad bought her miso soup and she came over and sat right next to me. I knew it was a moment of mutual learning because there were 5 other empty chairs, but, she decided to sit next to me. I felt her wanting to start a conversation with me, I was a bit apprehensive (in my own resistance).
She asked me if the chicken tasted good. Told her yes, it's tasty. My initial impression - she was hungry! I then asked her - how was the soup? Don't remember what she said, but, she did add that it was filling. My impression grew further - she may have an eating/body image challenge. I probed deeper. We engaged in a series of q & a. She divulged that she doesn't eat breakfast, only has a certain portion for lunch and dinner...and she thinks she's fat (as she touches her stomach and thighs). There was no sign of fat on this girl. I "assured" her that she was a healthy size for her age and height. Felt I needed to say more - told her that eating balanced meals was the healthier way to go, than eating food that fills you up.
She listened, not sure how much of an impact my words had. As I spoke, I was reminded that I must adhere to this myself and how countless girls and women try to control their lives via their weight and body image.
She was there to present a learning opportunity to me, as I her.
Her dad came over and as she got up to leave, I reminded her of what I said earlier; she looked at me with nervous eyes, agreed and left.

Dear FDA...
Within the past few years, baby's/children's "medicine" you previously approved have been recalled. You continue to approve drugs that have astounding negative effects on the body and emotions. Medicine is intended to HEAL. I recently learned of a new vaccine for babies you have approved (http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/company-news/pfizers-pediatric-vaccine-prevnar-13-approved/19371929/). A baby's developing immune and other body functions are equipped to handle bacteria and other possible invasions. If, for whatever reason, the baby's body needs help, there are gentle, safe and non-invasive options that are very effective.
I wonder if you care to know about those options??? You want the best and most safe healthcare protocol for everyone, right!!??
Someone who cares,
Nicole

Who's In Charge
Went to the supermarket the other day. Saw a father and daughter shopping. She was a cute kid (4-6 years old) with big, piercing eyes and a dominant personality. She picked up a BIG box of chips, about 24 small bags in the container and brought it over to the cart. She looked at her father, with those big eyes, basically saying "I want this and you will say yes". He smirked and in went the container.
Couple of things caught my attention - 1. the diet of kids are so unhealthy and making them sick and 2. the father was afraid to say no to his daughter. p.s. She later saw something else that she wanted , he "tried" to grab it from her, she held her stand and in it went into the cart.
Parents, stop feeding your children garbage and take healthy control of your homes.
This may help: I'm teaching an online class on "Weight Management" in April, check the events link for more details.

The Medicated Child
Watched “The Medicated Child” on Frontline (on PBS). The show profiled several children and their diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder and Bi-Polar. Based on the information presented, it was abusive the way these children were being heavily medicated. Children, as young as four years old, were being given profoundly strong psychiatric medication. And as they showed any sign of change...perceived negative change, more medication was given.
Several things concerned me. There was no mention of the child's diet, parents' emotional role and environmental factors that feed the illnesses. The children's diets were filled with sugar, which causes damaging effects to the nervous and immune systems. Children's physical, emotional and mental challenges are a reflection of their parents unresolved life issues and lessons. I guess because I am from a different school of thought/belief, this was not considered as an area to address. Based on what I saw, it was not. The answer always appeared to be focused on the medication as the solution.
The parents appeared lost, confused and were completely giving their power over to the doctors. Did the parents do a thorough research on these medications or on other alternative care to address the issue? Where is the empowerment and awareness?
From what I viewed, it is clear that an introduction to substance abuse and addiction is being fostered with the support of such organizations as the Food and Drug Administration. It has become, or probably has been acceptable to drug or over-drug children with justified means in doing so. The well-rounded needs of these children are severely dismissed. Is this out of ignorance or a profound void of deep concern for the wellness of all...and what are our responsibilities in changing this?

Women...Let's Heal Ourselves
I wrote this powerful piece on women's wellness some years ago that was published in Inner Realm Magazine. It continues to inspire me in my own personal development and professional work in women's health. Enjoy...
Women...Let Us Heal Ourselves.Breast and Womb Cancers, Cysts, Fibroids, Endometriosis, Hysterectomy, Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Unfortunately, the list goes on to disclose a number of dis-eases women may face in their lifetimes...women of all races, nationalities, and socio-economic status.
As I observe and listen to women speak and media information, it is as if when we think of ourselves as women we automatically commit to the fear of possibly getting these manifestations of imbalance. How did we get here? Do we look at society's influence? A society that fails to celebrate the true essence of femininity by suggesting that mothers, sisters, aunts, and wives take out their wombs than try to save and heal them. Still, women cannot be preyed upon unless permission is given.
As women, I question how much we truly love being women. The magnificent, divine powers that we possess tend to be suppressed for the sake of others and as a means to remain a victim to past experiences. A past that may have included sexual inappropriateness; unsatisfying parental guidance and support and sibling competition, the main ingredients that tend to shape us from earlier on. To truly own our power would require courage and an unapologetic stand of who we are and what we are capable of creating and being responsible for in our lives.
These manifestations of pain do reflect the body's language of expressing that something requires acknowledgement and healing. Some belief system about oneself and life has festered and gone unaddressed and has now landed in a way that can no longer be ignored, unless one chooses. Praises to the human body for being so honest and loving.The answer does not lie in taking a pill or looking at our doctor as God, or giving our power over to others to define our lives.
It is crucial to understand that there are many contributing emotional and mental based factors that perpetuate these health challenges. Let us commit to defining ourselves from a place of truth and heal from within. Let us own the following:
Let us be in full accountability and responsibilities of our bodies, minds and emotions.
Let us be aware of how delicate and powerful our wombs and breasts are.
Let us radically change our diets and how we perceive food.
Let us utilize safe and gentle holistic methods to care for our health and well-being.
Let us come to understand that mind, body, spirit are one, they do not work independent of each other.
Let us stop hating other women for then we hate ourselves.
Let us understand that we do not have to reveal our bodies in order to feel accepted and validated.
Let us understand that we do not have to cover up our bodies in shame and self-loathing.
Let us learn to let go of negative thought patterns, expectations, and people that block us from hearing our higher voice.
Let us eliminate fear and inject love.
Let us be warriors, spiritual warriors and create balance and harmony in every aspect of our lives.
Let us talk to our wombs and breasts and invoke words of love and healing.
Let us stop living in denial and honestly face our choices and ourselves.
Let us view our breasts as nourishments of life, not as inanimate objects.
Let us use our ability to visualize and heal our bodies.
Let us be selective in who we choose to enter our vaginas, the passageway of life and feminine power.
Let us embrace our menstrual cycle as a monthly reminder of our spiritual powers, not as a monthly curse.
Let us teach these affirmations to the girl children.
With Love,
Nicole
