The Center for Prenatal and Perinatal Music was created in order to assist mothers, teenagers and couples in realizing their journey through pregnancy and birth in a holistic and supportive environment, as well as offering educational resources. Educational here refers to enabling the human being to form and develop rather than teaching a formal and structured methodology to either the parents or the baby. The program is based on the Arts: music, movement, poetry, and color. It offers support during this vulnerable and exciting time by growing towards conscious parenting and as a full participant in one’s process. We bring awareness about fetal life and enrich the life of the parents, particularly the mother and through her, the baby. Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing, allow the joy and beauty that is a positive pregnancy and conscious birth experience. Our mission is to help women bring babies into the world that are nurtured with love and conscious awareness from the very beginning of life through the unfolding experience of birth. We support the changing needs during each trimester and give assistance during labor and delivery. We believe that when women are allowed to experience pregnancy and birth as a natural process they discover a new dimension of their being and they acquire a deeper knowledge as well as new confidence in their own abilities as mothers. Fathers are also given assistance in their particular journeys growing into fatherhood. Birth is a sacred event. Each couple creates their own vision for the miracle of birth. We fully celebrate and empower them in this life changing process.
