Calm BirthTM applies respected methods of mind/body medicine and meditation science to pregnancy and childbirth. The Calm BirthTM program offers women and their partners advanced practices to support natural childbirth, and is also a vital complementary method for women when medical interventions are used. The class is beneficial to take anytime in pregnancy, recommended as early as possible.

The Calm BirthTM method:

*Helps heal the nervous systems of Mother and Womb Child in preparation for birth ;

*Builds Women's ability to manage anxiety, fear, and pain during pregnancy and labor without drugs and/or anesthesia;

*A baby-friendly approach that facilitates bonding;

*Strengthens the immune system of the mother and Womb child ;

*Helps Women discover their inherent healing nature;

*Raises the quality of the childbirth experience;

*Supports and strengthens Father/Partner's connection with Womb Child.

The 'Calm' in Calm Birth does not mean silent of inexpressive; many Calm Birth's involve moving, sounding, and trusting what emerges from within. Calm Birth does mean labor characterized by inner strength, deep presence, and connection with our sacred nature of being.

The Calm BirthTM prenatal workshop is focused primarily on the three practices: The Practice of Opening, Womb Breathing, and Giving and Receiving, centuries-old wisdom merged with current understandings of healing, the energy body, and quantum physics, and how they help women use innate ability that is most often not being used. It is integral and complementary medicine. Women are offered methods to encourage natural childbirth as a primary option, but if medical interventions are used, the methods work with current childbirth medicine to raise the quality of the birth and heal the side effects of the medicine. The classes teach expanded childbirth anatomy, the inseparable energy body and physical body. Women learn to breathe with both bodies, all the way through labor and delivery. They learn healing and greater function in giving birth. Calm BirthTM is for Mama's-to-be, Papa's-to-be, Partners and Co-parents regardless of where and how you plan to birth.

In this Start With Love Calm BirthTM Workshop the Calm BirthTM CD [$20 value] and workshop folder are included as well as special discounts on prenatal/postpartum sessions. We will also have snacks and time for sharing! The 3-hour Calm Birth Workshop is an introduction to Calm Birth prenatal meditation in which you will learn the three practices...your work and exploration continues at home!

I offer packages including drop-ins and weekly support for couples, private practice sessions, and birth support for couples that are interested in Sacred and Conscious Birthing. Please inquire by email if you would like more information. Also available privately.

Some praise for Calm BirthTM...

"I wholeheartedly endorse the Calm Birth program. This work is at the heart of healthy and empowering childbirth - an experience which has the power to transform and uplift a woman's relationship to her body and her child for life. Calm Birth is preventive and empowering medicine at its best."

"Calm Birth is a sublime gift to us all. It contains the blueprint for reconnecting with birth wisdom on all levels. Doing the practices will transform the birth process and imprint a peaceful beginning in both mother and child. The positive impact of this on society can't be overestimated."

-CHRISTIANE NORTHRUP, M.D., FACOG, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and Mother Daughter Wisdom

"..... based on meditation and the best principles of established psychosomatic medicine.....compassionately guides mothers-to-be and new mothers through carefully structured relaxation and meditation practices .....An empowering alternative to the "medicalization of birth," the techniques liberate women to channel their innate wisdom into welcoming their newborn child in a truly life affirming way."
