There is nothing more frustrating then longing for and wanting something so badly and it not happening . I have worked with countless woman through the ups and downs of fertility and have helped them overcome emotionally the disappointment of failed treatments and not getting pregnant when they had hoped.
These days, it seems every time you turn around there's another double stroller rolling down the street. Think about it - how many sets of twins do you know?
Multiple births are on the rise, and two babies means double the fun but also twice the worry!
Something I always suggest to my clients to do after the birth of their baby is to take their baby to see an osteopath & get cranial sacral therapy. I have been seeing Dr. Hakimi for years now and highly recommend him to all my peps , he does a combination of the two plus so much more . Dr.
LOVE this quote by Marianne Williamson !!!!!!
“Things don’t spiral out of control when we surrender them; they spiral out of control when we try to control them”. When I first read this I went right to the birth experience and then of course life in general .
When I prep someone for birth the first thing I have them do is to tell me about their ideal birth and fears , blending the two of them together I come up with a plan to best help support their vision . The next thing I do is give them a long lecture on the art of non attachment and allowing .

MY DOULA BAG -
Battery operated, flame free candles -Nothing creates a soothing atmosphere like candle light , unfortunately you can’t bring anything flammable into a hospital . These candles are a must to create a good relaxing vibe !!!
Each month, I give my clients a monthly theme: something to work on, think about, and practice doing to help them prepare themselves as mothers for the birthing of their children. This month I am choosing to work with my mothers on the theme of health.
For some woman mothering comes easy as if its second nature and for others it can be a hard and rocky road. I don’t believe that all woman are born with motherly instints however we all are born with intuition . All of us especially woman have an unexplained “GUT “knowing and a deep connection to our children .
Having a home birth can be a beautiful experience; natural lighting beaming through the windows, candles burning, music playing, while you are surrounded by loved ones and all your personal stuff. Nothing beats being in an atmosphere that makes you feel safe and cozy while giving birth to your baby.
