What am I up to?
My blog: Working to promote natural belly, birth and baby
New Nomination for Business Award My current writings for my new book with Dr Shari Read, Beautiful Birth Update Community project: update on Rapids Landing Community Fund Update Breastfeeding Community: our first meeting New Images from Mother Baby Yoga session Thursday 6th July 2006 New Images from photo shoot for National ChildBirth Awareness Week (November)
New Nomination for Business Award (28th July 2008) I was very excited to discover that I was a finalist in the 2008 Margaret River Chamber of Commerce and Industry Awards, and here I am below in the Margaret River Mail with 2 wonderful clients (and friends). The winners were announced at a dinner Saturday 26th July, and I was very fortunate to be accompanied by the same 2 beautiful women. The evening was lovely and made all the more special when Yoga Baby Bliss was announced as the winner of the Best New Business for 2008!
Beautiful Birth: Your guide to a nurturing and empowering journey through belly, birth & baby (updated 17th July 2008)
I have written this book (together with Shari) in the hope that I can provide women with the belief and confidence that they can experience the amazing beauty of birth. I have drawn upon my experiences, both professional and personal, to discuss the nature of labor and birth, using my yogic teachings and practice, as the focus, preparing women for the psychological and physiological path they will journey as they experience belly, birth & baby.
I am teaming up with my wonderful teacher and colleague, Dr Shari Read, to write a comprehensive book with a focus on natural and enjoyable birth. Shari and I are already working together on our next writing project Beautiful Baby... Keep everything crossed :o) we are waiting on a publishers response for the manuscript!
Still waiting! :o)
...and today the news... the material was good but the market is too competitive for books in this field (birth). So after my initial disappointment, Shari and I are still positive about our project. More on this later....
Update Rapids Landing Community Fund (3rd July 2008) I missed today's meeting as my little boy was unwell. However, I believe that it was decided to put the funds into a bank account (to be opened for the breastfeeding community group) and to also support Dani's training as an Australian Breastfeeding Association Counselor. (6th June 2008) Karina has today informed me that we have been successful for part of our grant application, and have been awarded $500 by the Rapids Landing Community Fund. We will be deciding at the next Breastfeeding Community session (3rd July 2008) what the funds will be used for. (1st June 2008) Karina has submitted our application for the Rapids Landing Community Fund to create a breastfeeding library and free breast pump hire for our breast feeding mothers who attend our Breastfeeding Community sessions. What we hope to have in our library;
Update Breastfeeding Community (6th June 2008) Today was our first session and we had 10 wonderful women attend; beautiful bellies and breastfeeding babies. Thank you to everyone who has a belief in breastfeeding and the interest in providing support for each other. Dani put her hand up to possibly train as an Australian Breastfeeding Association counselor...yay! Thank you to all who attended and also for permission to post these photos.
(1st June 2008) Available on the first Thursday of every month. First session 5th June @ Margaret River Health Free to breastfeeding mothers and expectant mothers. Come along have a cup of tea and chat with Karina, Natalie or just amongst yourselves. Current information will be available from Australian Breastfeeding Association.
(6th June 2008) After a wonderful chat with 2 amazing Margaret River Doula's (Beth and Desiree) and one trainee Doula (Dani) I will soon be able to provide a team of Yoga Baby Bliss BirthWorkers (including myself) to women in Margaret River, Busselton and surrounds.
(1st June 2008) Now that my beautiful boys are no longer babies (sniff), Finn is 5yrs and Jay turned 2 on the 28th May, I am now available for labor and birth support, plus helping Lynne with a few more Home Births.
I look forward to adding to this new page Your Birth over the next few weeks, and hope to bring you a Margaret River Doula to work alongside me in providing education and support to women in labor and birth.
Watch this space!
(2nd July 2008) Another painting, a bit different from the first with a focus on 'pinky reds', which is for me the color of birth.
(1st June 2008) I really loved painting this picture. I don't know anything about painting, but enjoy it when I get the time.
New Images from Mother Baby Yoga (6th June 2008) Thank you to the wonderful mummies (Sas, Liz and Jayne) and their beautiful babies (Imogen, Teagan and Ellaya) for allowing me to take these photos today. The babies are always so relaxed during the yoga session.
New Images from photo shoot for (NACE) National ChildBirth Awareness Week (November) (6th June 2006) Plenty of tea and some fresh scones with jam and cream, beautiful mothers to be and wonderful mothers with their baby's.
A huge thank you to SueLyn Moyle for her time and professional photography skills. You can view Sue's work at www.margaretriverphotography.com.au
(updated 14th May 2008) I have received the very exciting news that I have been accepted to present at the upcoming NACE (National Association of Childbirth Educators), to be held this coming September in Melbourne. I will be discussing yoga and its use for belly, birth and baby on the first day of the conference. You can read more @ www.nace.org.au
(updated 19th February 2008) Last week (15th February 2008) I was fortunate enough to be interviewed on the ABC south west radio morning talk show program with Genine Unsworth, to discuss my new book (Yoga for Belly, Birth & Baby).
(updated 19th February 2008) I would like to thank Heather Auld and her staff, for their acceptance and support of my donation of my new yoga book, Yoga for Belly, Birth & Baby, to our wonderful local library on February 13th 2008.
