You, baby, and family will benefit...forever

According to an article in Huffington Post, "while more than 85 percent of pregnancies are generally considered at low risk for complications, routine maternity care has become increasingly technology intensive and expensive. For example, one in three births in 2011 occurred by cesarean section. The cesarean rate rose nearly 60 percent from 1996 to 2009 without medical indications to explain the increase and cesareans are now the most common in-patient surgery in the country...The U.S. ranks 34th in maternal mortality, 38th in neonatal mortality, 66th in infants with low birth weight."

While these statistics may exist, real change is occurring in modern birthing.

Laboring women are increasing interested in a safe, non-invasive, and therapeutic approach to assist their delicate childbirth journey; one in which they are more consciously engaged and experience a greater bond and partnership with baby as they give birth. This form of conscious birthing allows the mother to receive healthy support and be fully present while quieting the noise of what she was forewarned, by friends, family, the media, about childbirth.

My mission has been and continues to honor this renewed declaration of birthing in safety and love, not fear. As an advocate, the Birth Support Kit and My Loving & Pleasurable Childbirth were conceived as vessels to answer the call for conscious and empowered birthing. Each offers the re-introduction of personal feminine wisdom, power, and pleasure into the birthing experience.

I believe the way we enter into the world determines the quality of our lifetime. Let's create and share a collective belief and projection that shines a healing light on our own births, children's births, mothers' and grandmothers' births, and all present and future births to come.

I Love My Work!

According to an article in the New York Post, women who suffer stress during pregnancy transmit their anxiety to their unborn child from as early as 17 weeks, research indicates. Stress levels in fetuses only four months rise and fall in line with those of their mothers.


The findings prompted calls for employers, family and friends to be aware of the risks. The research is published in the May edition of Clinical Endocrinology. One of the study’s authors, Professor Yvette Glover, has previously shown a link between stress in pregnancy and the baby’s IQ. (Times of London)

This truth serves as one of the reasons I conceived and gave birth to my practice. My goal is to guide mothers in remembering that they are a powerful part of the birthing journey, before, during, and after pregnancy, through their thoughts, conscious decision making skills, diet, and their perception about themselves and their pregnancy and, motherhood in general.

By assisting mothers in understanding the significance of demonstrating love in the womb, they will ultimately be able to transmit that energy to baby, increasing the chances of birthing a happy baby whose beginning foundation in this life is in joy and love. This foundation then continues to grow and build the essence of the individual, giving rise to a self-empowered, emotionally nurtured, conscious participant on the life journey who contributes his or her gifts to the world with love and care.

My unique approach to natural health care for pregnant women, new moms, newborns and childbirth all offer the support and assistance necessary to foster such a beginning and rapport. I invite you to explore these options and how I may be of service.


With Love,

Nicole
