New Classes and Summer Plans

                                     Due to increasing demand I have added a "Siblings' Preparation Class"

This session can help prepare your child(ren) to welcome their sibling with love and acceptance. If you are planning a hospital birth learn tools to help for an easy transition for your older child. If you are planning a home birth or a hospital birth where you plan on having your older child present at the birth, this session can help prepare your child(ren) for what to expect and how to be a loving participant in the process. Some people fear that having siblings at the birth may be traumatizing for a child, but when prepared appropriately it actually can become a very positive experience that makes them feel like an integral part of the process and they learn to see birth as a positive and empowering experience.
For more information please visit the Classes tab

Annual Summer Trip to Spain

Our annual Waterbirth Workshops in Spain are well on their way. We have 3 waterbirth workshops scheduled throughout Spain and they are all almost at capacity. We are also offering an Embrace the Miracle class. This year I am staying a little longer so I can actually have a vacation! If you are looking to book me for births between mid July and mid August please make sure you do so before the end of May so that I may be able to support your birth journey.

Birth Counseling and Childbirth Education

I have decided to start focusing more on the preparation aspect of birth. I love teaching and sharing the knowledge I have gained and continually gain. So whether you just want to create a conscious pregnancy and birth, or you are looking to work on past birth trauma please see the Classes tab as well as the Birth Counseling tab

I am still working on that bigger and kind of "secret" project but am taking baby steps as I learn and become ready to share... stay tuned...

New Opportunities



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!

That may sound like a tall order but it is an order I am called to follow! And I will do this with Love/God as my guide.

So what does that mean? For the whole picture you will wait and see but for now it means that I have decided to end my full time position with Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies; it has been wonderful and I have enjoyed my time with each and every mother and baby I have had the pleasure to support. HMHB is a wonderful organization, the work they do and the people that work there are one of the best I have ever encountered, but it is time to serve my family, and mothers and babies in another way. So this now means I am available to take more births!!! Yay!!!

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!

If you are pregnant or know someone who is and ready to explore your own power and the power of birth please take a look at my Empowered Birth Package.
And stay tuned!!! I will be sharing my adventures which will include the minds and hearts of some amazing people!!! 

Spring/Summer Update

For the third consecutive year since 2014 I am coordinating, organizing, and interpreting Barbara Harper's Waterbirth and Gentle Birth Workshops in Spain this summer. It is such an honor to do this every year and to see how her workshops have grown both in number and in participants. To learn more about that you can refer to www.barbaraharperespana.com

I am also very pleased to share that I am Facilitating Centering Pregnancy Groups for Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies in Palm Beach County. For that reason I will be taking a limited number of births, for the right client and situation. I will be booking fast so if you would like to contract services please call me at 561-808-3142 or email me at zeresh at alovingbirth dot com (spelled out to avoid spam).

I am also excited to share that last month I had the great honor and pleasure to be the interpreter for Dr. Michel Odent, world renown OBGYN, natural childbirth specialist. The experience was very enriching and I learned a lot!

 




I also recently completed a breastfeeding Course and I am now a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor

As you can see my passion for learning about birth and serving mothers and babies never ceases! 

I hope you have a wonderful summer!

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.

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:
