Pregnancy Meditation and Movement
Starting February 27, 2016
Join us for weekly pregnancy meditation, dancing, and yoga inspired poses. Get your body, mind and soul ready for the journey of pregnancy and birth.
Meditation creates an opportunity to connect with your baby and your body as you slow down and allow thoughts and feelings to flow through you while you quiet your mind and send love to your baby.
Through dancing and yoga poses loosen and stretch your body to relieve any discomfort caused by the changes in pregnancy and help you prepare for birth.
By connecting to your body, your breath and your thoughts you will become more in tune with your body and baby’s needs allowing for a more pleasurable pregnancy and birth.
This is a donation class.
(Suggested donation is $10 but all amounts above and below are welcome).
Followed by Natural Childbirth Education Classes. For more information visit the Childbirth Education Tab. Don't forget to click on the rest of the tabs on the site for other services offered.
Natural Childbirth Education Class Series -New Time
“When
a pregnant woman has, or rediscovers trust in herself and her body, and
receives the utmost respectful care and support, birth becomes a
wonderful experience; not only because of the birth of the baby, but
because of the immense love and power that she is able to feel.”
Join us for a revolving series of four, 2 hour Natural Childbirth Education classes, that will help you get in touch with or rediscover that power within you; and through education, information and the knowledge gained, help you make informed decisions for a safe, loving and natural birth experience.
Topics include “Intervention Intelligence for Birth and Baby”, “Comfort Measures”, “Empowered Birth”, and “Creating a Birth Plan”.
Come in for one or sign up for all four. Start at any time!
Each class is $30, $100 for all four.
Saturdays at 11:00 am at The Sol Oasis in Boynton Beach.

Birth World:
Folate vs. Folic Acid.
Folic acid and Folate are often used interchangeably and is recommended
during pregnancy, and even months before pregnancy in order to help
prevent birth defects and other health issues. But did you know that
there is a difference between Folic Acid and Folate? And that it is a
very important difference that could be affecting your health and the
health of your baby? For more info visit: http://chriskresser.com/folate-vs-folic-acid/
Natural Birth Tip:
GBS. Is a test that is done
routinely in the US around the 37 week of pregnancy to check for a
bacteria overgrowth in the perineal area. If a woman tests positive she
is told she will need IV antibiotics during birth. We do it here, but
why isn't it done in the UK? (hint: studies show results can change and
that antibiotics carry their own risks) I will let you research that one
on your own... But in the mean time here is a link to an article with
some tips on how to avoid testing positive and how to even reverse it: http://wellnessmama.com/8680/avoid-gbs/
Parenting World:
Birth PTSD. Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder takes on many shapes and forms. Many don't think it can
be brought on by birth, but regardless of the outcome if a mother feels
she has a traumatic birth experience she needs to take the steps to help
her heal from it. Ideally before the next pregnancy. Here is some
valuable information on that: http://www.midwiferytoday.com/articles/healing_trauma.asp

It is with love and excitement that I share that I am about to embark in a new journey involving my family, birth and the World! Yes, the World too!
I have decided to focus on an even deeper level to helping women embrace their pregnancy, birth and parenting journey to help them create not only a more enjoyable, positive, connected and empowering birth, but to also follow that path to create a balance for themselves and their children, so that their birth experience spills over into an empowering and positive journey in self-exploration and parenting. How will I achieve this? I won't, but you will! I will just be there to plant the seed, sprinkle it with some love and guidance, and you will have to water it and tend to it so it grows into a beautiful expression of your true brilliant self. What I will achieve is living in a way that I can fully and wholeheartedly put into practice what I preach and be the best example to my children and the women I serve, and any other person who chooses to allow me into their lives. I am excited and inspired and hope to share that with you!
