New Paradigm Birth and Parenting

You don't have to be a 'new ager' to realise that we are going through a fundamental shift in the world of birth and parenting - 'about time' I say! We've been here 13 years this year and set out to make people think about the way they parent through the things they buy for their babies because the 'gear' you use and the people you take guidance from does effect how you parent.  For example buying an uncomfortable sling will discourage you from wanting to hold and carry your baby, buying a breast pump that doesn't work well will discourage you from continuing to breastfeed when you go back to work.

What's been interesting is that in the last couple of years, as we go through this shift, is that I've seen more and more organisations and products come along that are aligned with our belief and more and more parents who are aware that the kind of birth they have and the way they parent in the early years can have long term implications for their child.  This can sometimes leave people feeling despondent if they haven't had the birth they planned or only found out later about the benefits of baby carrying or bed sharing.  This is why I love Tracy Holloway's work, as it heals all those past traumas so we can have a clean slate without always worrying that we may have done wrong.  Because in the scheme of things there is no wrong, we just do what we know based on our past experiences.  It's time to have a clear out so that we can birth and parent without past baggage getting in the way. So we can be in a heart centered space where everything is 'right'.



I invite you to listen to Tracy Holloway's broadcast and to give yourself the opportunity to heal those past upsets that leave us feeling like we could have done things better.  Without the past getting in the way we can be present to enjoying every experience life brings us.

This broadcast will take place on January 20th 2013 at 8pm UK time, however you can also listen to the recording via the same link if you missed it live.
