About Smartbirth
My vision for Smartbirth has been brewing for years and finally it's here. Its an accumulation of teaching, observations, personal experiences with laboring women, and working in the medical community as a labor and delivery nurse.
Scientific research has proven without a doubt how emotions influence physiology. Meaning - whatever you are thinking in a given moment, your body is responding to it. And thoughts can ignite the stress response. Much of stress is self induced and I have seen this many, many times in laboring women. Why?
- fears - of the unknown, the ability to birth, social pressure( what others have told you), TV, books , movies exaggerating the realities of birth. communication manner of your doctor. I call this "implanted" fears
- Unrealistic thinking that spirals out of control
Birth is physical and an emotional. When you learn to control your thoughts and emotions, your body will respond and reduce the potential release of the stress response.
More important is you may have a birth experience without "drama" and be amazed at your innate strength and know-how that came through for you - because you learned how to tap into it. That's yours! That's all you. And Smartbirth can show you how.
I love what I have put together. It takes the mind/body connection seriously with intelligence. Are you ready to see what you can do?
