THINK HEALTHIER DNA! This mini session will help you set your baby up for success while they are still developing!

There is a vastly growing field of fetal development and fetal psychology: The in-utero environment tells baby what life is like outside and so baby is constantly receiving messages on how to best prepare for life outside of the womb.

There are numerous studies that show when a mother has a daily mindfulness practice, there is higher self-esteem, higher self-acceptance, higher success rates, higher academic achievements, lower maternal depression rate and lower anxiety and depression rates in both baby and mother.

This module includes:

- A guided meditation to build a deeper connection between you and baby
     - Prenatal yoga practice
     - Poses to help during labor
     - Suggestions for pregnancy superfoods and prenatal vitamins

Did you know that the postpartum hormone drop is considered the single largest sudden hormone change in the shortest amount of time for any human being, at any point of their life?

The sudden change in hormones can cause huge emotional shifts. You don’t need to be scared, this is a normal physiological process but it’s good to be aware and somewhat prepared for this time. When you add increased cortisol levels due to sleep deprivation, not eating and high levels of stress this will affect you on every level.
