On Supporting Natural Birth: I'm halfway through teaching our October HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education class series and starting to take students for the next one starting mid-November. At the same time I'm working on getting our Doula Collective off the ground and in conversation with an amazing support team of women in wellness and birth. I realize more and more how passionately I feel about teaching the story of natural birth. A story that goes hand in hand with empowering women to truly be equals, to have equal rights in health care, wellness, parenting, jobs, even the right to our voices to be heard! Over 21 years of working in wellness full time and I believe in our bodies ability to be healthy and whole. I believe in the pregnant woman's ability to give birth as a natural event that does not decry intervention as a assumptive path. I'm all for interventions when they are an absolutely necessity, or even when they are a passionate and informed choice. Who am I to say otherwise.. it's not my body. it's not my choice. Yes this applies to the right to your birth your way. I am here to support your birth story. I hope that I get to teach more of you HypnoBirthing to help support you in that story. To attend your births and help you create joyful birth stories. Come on in for a massage, or call for a consultation and let's keep making this a better and more wonderful world for birth, health and women.
