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

Mastering Motherhood

I see mastering motherhood as honoring both the mother and woman within you. Knowing when to wear the mommy hat and when to switch gears and flip on your woman hat. It is so vital to create an intimate relationship with both. They need each other for support and guidance on how to powerfully navigate both worlds. Your children know the mother. Your husband/partner/career sees the woman. You own both.

At times, it can be a very thin line when steering each. One can get lost within the other and vice versa. The key is to set clear boundaries within yourself and with the people in your life, if you choose to acknowledge the two separately.

If you are a mother, I invite you to start to define the two roles and how you would go about setting the appropriate boundaries to regard both.

My next live tele-class in July will be on this topic. I would love to hear your views and position on Mastering Motherhood. Please feel free to forward your email address to be notified of the date and time of the class.


With love,
Nicole

What Is Aromatherapy and What Health Challenges Can It Assist?

Aromatherapy entails using essential oils, also known as the lifeblood of nature's oldest inhabitants, flowers, plants, fruits. The oils are extracted through distillation and their healing properties are then used in a gentle and safe manner to assist your health concerns. The essential oils have certain qualities such as antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiseptic, antibiotic, antidepressant, and/or many other qualities that assist your holistic (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) health. A trained person can work with these qualities to educate you on how to use these essential oils for your own personal benefit. When inhaled and/or placed on the skin, there is an effect within the body. There are different ways of using essential oils: as a massage oil or cream, air spray, mouthwash, in a douche and more. A massage oil or cream is the method I find most efficient and my clients have found most effective. With a massage oil or cream, essential oils are combined with a carrier oil, such as olive, canola, and almond or in an unscented cream. I educate you in the appropriate essential oils to use and how to use them.
