Like a honeymoon…the term “Baby Moon” has come to mean many different things but one aspect is a constant fixture: time away. This can be done in a secluded location or in the comfort of your own home.People who are drawn to a BabyMoon have been searching for a way that helps women create the sacred space necessary for birth preparation and prenatal bonding.  Personal, day, and weekend retreats are available.  Please visit www.babymoonretreats.org for more information.

Through a holistic program of relaxation, visualizations and meditation, ritual, and education, women connect with themselves and their babies in a deeper way.  They are reinforced in trusting that their bodies know how to bring their babies into the world in the calm and gentle way that Nature intended. I have also found in working with moms that it is important to take time afterwards  So the experience does not stop with the prenatal retreat, but also includes postpartum birth circles for mom and baby. to integrate the birth into one’s life both energetically and emotionally.

Prenatal and Postpartum Reiki

Kerstin specializes in private Prenatal and Postpartum Reiki sessions.  This is a wonderful way to connect energetically with the baby as well as to integrate the birth experience, promote postpartum healing and bonding.  Postpartum visits are done in the home with baby and mom wherever they feel comfortable.  The flexibility of Reiki makes it a wonderful healing treat for mom while still keeping baby close.  This is wonderful bodywork to be done in the first six weeks and then continued throughout the postpartum period.
