Witnessing these shifts, like the Raven's transition to a peaceful hummingbird, symbolizes our own evolution. Each transformation is a personal journey, unlocking the keys to our inner universe, inviting us to listen, anticipate joy, and revel in the process of becoming.
Overcoming Fear and Anxiety in Childbirth
Do you have fear or anxiety about having a baby and becoming a parent? There are so many complex layers to these feelings. You will hear me say this, one way or another, over and over, again: there is only one you, and you are sacred! You are a unique, one-of-a-kind individual and your life experiences have shaped your body, mind, and soul into who you are today.
Our Body Image in the Childbearing Year
This story is a reflection of my personal journey with negative body image, how it impacted my experience of pregnancy and becoming a new mother, and how I have learned from it and hope to bring awareness to the subject.
Pregnancy Nutrition for a Healthy Birth
My belief is that if we are all unique individuals in this life, then our nutrition should reflect our uniqueness. It should be tailored to our individual tastes, lifestyle, vitamin and mineral status, constitution, body, mind, and soul. With copious (and often conflicting) information out there, how do we know what we should actually be eating for the best health outcome for our bodies and our growing baby’s development?
it’s Happening
I invite you to think about what a beautiful world we can create by simply listening to ourselves and being happy! There are infinite ways in which to follow your own path out of the maze; this is the fun of life! It all starts with the decision to make life what you want it to be. I believe this is possible for each and every one of you.
