Intuitive Birthing

 

Pregnancy and Childbirth is a very beautiful and natural process. It is a time in a woman’s life when she becomes deeply connected to her body and the fetus growing in her womb. If one allows it, the process of pregnancy and childbirth can deepen her spiritual connection to herself and the world around her. Throughout my own pregnancy and in preparation for childbirth, I have personally found that the more I quietly listened to my body’s wants and needs and responded to those needs in consciousness and gentleness, the more I awakened to the spiritual and emotional needs of the baby growing in my belly. As I began working with other pregnant women in my private practice, I observed the importance of assisting women to return home to their intuitive voice within, guiding them as their body changes physically and as they prepare themselves to become mothers. Through the use of guided imagery and visualization, conscious breathing, deep body relaxation, energy healing and spirit communication, I began assisting pregnant women and their partners as an Intuitive Birthing Guide.

One of the most important aspects of pregnancy and birthing for a woman is to educate herself on all of the options available to her regarding childbirth. I have personally found that doing research and reading literature on different childbirthing options are critical components to being informed and discovering the best childbirthing option for oneself. It is important that each woman go through this process as it will awaken her own inner voice of what she would like her birthing experience to be like, and it will engage her as a proactive and engaged participant in her birth instead of a passive patient in which procedures are done to her. I support pregnant women to activate their deeper sense of empowerment and choice during their pregnancy and childbirth. It will positively affect and set the stage for the way in which she will raise her child with consciousness and participate in other life decisions with confidence and certainty. 

In my work as an Intuitive Birthing Guide, I assist women in the following ways:

Each woman and pregnancy is unique and special. I work with each woman intuitively and listen to what she and the baby needs throughout her pregnancy. I respect and trust the deeper wisdom within the woman’s body and the greater, Divine forces at work bringing about this sacred union of Mother and Child.
