Subject: [hudvalleybirthnetwork] Introduction & Workshop Info



Hi Everyone,
I am new to the group and would like to introduce myself and also
invite you all to a workshop that the Rockland/Bergen BirthNet group
will be hosting.  My name is Pauline Nardella I have 3 children and I
have been teaching CBE now for 15 years.  I am dual certified in
Bradley & HypnoBirthing.  I am also an adjunct nursing professor at two
local nursing schools.  So life is busy :)
 
I have been coordinating the Rockland/Bergen BirthNet
(http://www.birthnet.info/) for about 5 years now and I must say I am
so impressed at the HVBN and it's organization, education and group
support that I have joined the group as a member.  I so believe in
getting the info out to the community...as well as the professional
community...like nurses, CNM, OB's, Pediatricians etc...

Brief Description:

THE POSITIVE PAIN OF LABOR:

 

The goal is to increase your confidence in your ability to believe in
the process of labor.  You can strengthen your self esteem and bond
with your baby as you realize and understand the healthy and meaningful
pain of labor.  This workshop allows women to anticipate their own
physical and emotional response to the natural process of labor, as
they reflect on their own physical and emotional response to their
lives and other experiences of pain. Separating the two is essential! 

 

The pregnant women will explore and identify her natural abilities to
be in her body and labor, and recognize her adjustment styles.  Dad or
the birth partner will learn some techniques in how to effectively
augment and encourage her in her abilities to have an easier birth, and
draw upon her inner resources. This session has been inspired by my
birth 17 years ago, 16 years working with pregnant women and their
families, meditation practice, and upon the research by Dr. Gayle
Peterson and her work in Body-Centered Hypnosis.  This is a 2 ½ hour
workshop.  Please dress comfortably!

 


 
I look forward to meeting you all.
 
Pauline Nardella RN, MPA, CCE
