News in the Birth World: Did you know that the baby is the one that starts the birth process? That it is actually something in the baby's lungs that is released into the mother's blood stream that initiates labor? Did you also know that they just recently discover the actual proteins that are released by the lungs!!?? They discovered it a few months ago after many years of research. The baby is the driver of labor. It is so important to respect the chemical process that takes place in a beautifully orchestrated fashion. To learn more about this incredible finding see this link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/06/150622162023.htm Parenting World: It is hard to find evidence based holistic dental services, well, I am happy to say I did! Although a little far for us, as they are located in Miami, it was worth the drive. I took my daughter in who is prone to cavities. My son who is 7 years old doesn't have any and yet my daughter 3.5 has several. I am so happy to have found Assure a Smile. After one visit I feel it is the right choice for us and I am happy to refer them to anyone seeking a more holistic approach to dental care. Here is a link to their blog where not only can you access their office information but you can read interesting articles on oral health for the whole family. http://www.assureasmile.com/miami-dentist-blog/ I hope you found this post's information to be useful. Don't forget to take advantage of the gift certificates and sign up for the upcoming meditations and classes! Today I leave you with my new logo/design that a client created for me. It is so beautiful! I am in love and so very thankful! As always, thank you for your continued love and support, Zeresh Altork, CD, CBE, M.Ed.

Taking births in September and beyond

Hello!
Hope you had a nice summer and that the "school" year is starting out well.
After a very productive summer; organizing, interpreting and facilitating Barbara Harper's Waterbirth Workshops for midwives in Spain I am back in Florida and ready to start seeing clients with due dates in September and beyond.
I also have a few surprises for pregnant mothers and past clients. Stay tuned I will be posting about that soon.
It is good to be back! I look forward to serving my new pregnant clients in Palm Beach and Broward counties.
