I am so excited to teach the Holistic 1st Aid Kit again. It has been my most popular class yet. I really wish that I had this information when my oldest son was a baby nearly 15 years ago. I had to read through book after book to find alternative remedies and treatments for any illness or ailment that came up. I’m so happy to be able to offer families a comprehensive yet easily understandable class to help them through fevers, bumps, bruises, stomach upsets and so much more. Our next class will be held on Wed May 19th from 12pm-1:15pm with Free Childcare offered. I look forward to seeing you all!!


HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator Training

A couple of weekends ago I attended a very informative and transformative 4 day intensive training to become a HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator. What that means in layman’s terms is that I can now teach the HypnoBirthing childbirth preparation method to expecting families- WOOHOO!! For the past 14+ years I believe that I have been unknowingly facilitating Hypno Births by holding the space prenatally for women and families to express their concerns, learn about the physiology of childbirth, and recondition their minds to embrace childbirth as opposed to fearing it. When a woman feels truly supported and does not carry the heavy burden of fear that is commonly associated with childbirth in today’s media driven world she is able to connect with her inner strength to allow her baby and her body to do the work needed to give birth. When a woman is able to connect with herself and her baby and take responsibility for her birth choices she is able to better transition into the role of motherhood. I absolutely love watching a woman’s eyes light up as she holds her baby for the first time, knowing that she was responsible for her birth. After taking the HBCE course I was reminded again of why I do what I do, and that we can make a huge difference in the births and ultimately lives of so many families when we look at birth simply and without fear.
