In Episode 16 of the Calmbirth Conversation Podcast Calmbirth Director, Karen McClay talks to our wonderful Calmbirth Educators and Yoga Instructors, Maja Batista and Karen Shlegeris about the benefits of pregnancy yoga in preparation for labour and birth.
As you are all aware, from October 11th there will be some restrictions eased in NSW and possibly Victoria, in lockdown affected areas. Calmbirth as an organisation has thought long and hard about how we safely navigate our way back to face to face teaching in what will still be a very unpredictable Covid environment with the potential for increases in Covid infections and subsequent snap lockdowns predicted as the States reopen. The next few months will be an important time to watch and see what happens as we transition to post lockdown life.
In Episode 15 of the Calmbirth Conversation Podcast, Calmbirth Director, Karen McClay talks to Dr Carla Brion & Nadia Parisi about the Golden Month – an in-home postpartum service they have created based on Traditional Chinese Medicine & Ayurvedic practices to nourish and nurture women in the postnatal period.
Dr Carla Brion is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncturist & Women’s Health Specialist while Nadia Parisi is a Women’s Health Massage Therapist, Fertility, Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Teacher, Holistic Pelvic Care Practitioner – two dynamic women who are here to break the mould, shake things up & bring women the care that they really need. It takes a village to hold the mother. “We want to re-shape the postpartum care in our community, for our daughters & their daughters to come.”
In Episode 14 of the Calmbirth Conversation Podcast, Karen McClay talks to Dr. Nicole Highet who is the Founder & Executive Director of COPE, the Centre of Perinatal Excellence and how COPE is providing support for the emotional challenges of becoming a parent.
Thanks NZ calmbirth families for adapting to ZOOM.
Just like birth, sometimes things can change, unfold a way we didn’t expect. Thanks for remaining positive for yourselves and your babies, being open to learn a different way.
Open mind, is an open body.
