Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Discover the power of a holistic approach to pregnancy and birth with expert guidance from midwife Karen. As you navigate through this special time in your life, you may have heard about the term “holistic health” and wonder how it applies to pregnancy and birth. Well, let me tell you, it makes all the difference!
A holistic approach means looking at pregnancy and birth as a whole – not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, spiritually and socially. It means acknowledging the mind-body connection and taking care of yourself in all aspects of your life. It’s about embracing your unique journey and preparing yourself for the birth of your baby in a way that feels right for you.
My process of unlearning everything I thought I knew about birth
I used to follow hospital policies and procedures, but I started to notice the difference in the way women with a holistic approach gave birth. They were more relaxed, focused and in tune with their bodies. They enjoyed their birth experience and were empowered by it. And so, I began to unlearn what I had been taught and relearn from a new perspective.
I studied yoga, breath work, hypnotherapy and neuro linguistic programming to deepen my understanding of the mind-body connection. I learned that in many other cultures, birth is celebrated and honored as a rite of passage, with ritual and ceremony. And finally, I developed a program called “birth fit” that embraces every aspect of being human.
There’s no one size fits all approach
With a holistic approach, you can experience a joyful pregnancy and a safe and gentle birth, where you are informed and in control. It’s not a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all approach, but it offers you exciting tools and techniques to incorporate into your daily living that will not only enhance your pregnancy, but your life and relationships.
I encourage you to embrace this stage of your life with open arms and an open mind. Join women from around the world in our online community who are also on this journey.
