Comfort Zone Center for Whole Self Healing

Pregnancy, the birth of your child and parenthood are all exciting and transformational times for both women & men.

All blessings, including the one you are preparing to birth, come from the spirit within. It’s important you feel supported, educated, and empowered to make the best decisions for yourself and your baby. It is our hope to educate and empower you along this journey as you grow from within.

With all that we do at Comfort Zone Center For Whole Self Healing, we wish to educate that all aspects of our being (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) play an essential role in our overall health & well-being . . . and this includes pregnancy. The stages of pregnancy include preparing for birth, labor, the birth experience, and cutting the cord. As you travel through these stages, we will provide you with tools and information that support the:

Physical: The most obvious aspect of pregnancy. A woman’s body is changing and developing as the baby is growing. Preparing and maintaining a healthy womb through diet and exercise creates a safe and nutritional sound place for your babies’ development.

Mental: What are you thoughts about your pregnancy, your birth and life afterwards? We all have preconceived notions with how this will all play out. Understanding the power of your thoughts and belief systems will help you understand yourself and your spouse at a deeper level.

Emotional: Each generation is carrying the burdens of 4 generations of their past …yes, at a cellular level. It’s important for us and the children we bring into this world to heal whatever is unhealed within us as parents.

Spiritual: The condition of your soul and its’ relationship to a higher power. No matter what your religious beliefs, how strong is your spiritual muscle?
Our program design will support, nurture, educate, and empower both mother and father as you “birth” a new life for yourselves. We will give you a lot to think about as you stretch physically, mental, emotionally, and spiritually.

In May, 2011, we will host Carrie Sz Keane’s BIRTH DAY event. BIRTH DAY, is an event honoring Spring, motherhood, birth, and womanhood. The event is an opportunity for families to discuss their personal birth stories and to learn about modern birthing practices, birthing trends, and to meet professionals in the field of maternity services in our area. We will include local Maternity/newborn vendors and crafters, labor support services, obstetric offices, and women’s health programs. A professional panel will be available to answer questions from the audience.

This event is in response to the disturbing trends in increasing maternal mortality, as well as Delaware’s poor statistics regarding teen pregnancy, infant mortality, and preterm birth.

The intention of this celebration is to encourage discussion surrounding the illuminating life event which is birth. Carrie, a local nurse midwife, hopes the discussion can alleviate fears regarding childbirth while also allowing participants to process their own experiences.

Beginning January 8, 2011, pre and post natal yoga classes join our class schedule on Saturdays at 11:00 am. Judi Block, a 200-hour Certified Whole Self Health Yoga Instructor and a mother, is an advocate for yoga during pregnancy. Judi did yoga with both pregnancies and believes the breathing and stretching are tremendous support during pregnancy and labor.
