Hello! I am Jessica Levesque. I am a mother to two great kids ages 3 and 4. I am expecting baby number three Spring 2010. I am a Childbirth Doula, Author and Visionary. My book is Embracing Birth: A Collection of Inspiring Birth Stories. My passion is childbirth, fertility and everything to do with Women Embracing and owning their Power in this World.I am a fearless leader who brings about change in the world by giving love in places never expected. I believe in Yoga,Meditation,High Vibration foods,Reiki,Louise L. Hay,Self-study, healing,that our power we seek outside of us resides within,miracles and in you're ability to have an amazing! Beautiful Birth!
I am intending to speak and hold workshops on childbirth and the power of the mind to overcome fear and create great pregnancy and birth experiences for women. By supporting our mothers we help to encourage health, happiness, love, strength and community.
About the book:
Embracing Birth includes over 30 births stories. I believe that a woman's body was made perfectly to give birth. There are over 60 beautiful photos included in the book. Women have a great opportunity to be empowered through experiencing childbirth in a loving supportive environment surrounded by people that believe in them and their ability to give birth. You will find these stories uplifting and encouraging and they will help you to feel more confident in your ability to labor safely and effectively.
Some of the stories you will find in this book are first time mothers, hospital births, home-births, twin births and VBAC's along with a multitude of settings and situations. Join the women of this book as they journey through labor and experience each baby's birth as they are embraced in love.
Embracing Birth is now available in Paperback and also as an E-book. Come by and check it out now at www.embracingbirthbook.com or www.amazon.com
"Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers-strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength."-Barbara Katz PhD
A message to expectant Parents:
If you are expecting a baby please check out all of my wonderful friends here on Myspace. You have a wealth of knowledge and support these women have to offer you. I encourage you to take initiative in your education on how to have a good, healthy pregnancy and birth. It is so important. I hope that you have a wonderful birth experience.
A message to Birthing Professionals:
Thank you for the work that you do. I believe it is time for change in the way our women birth and together we can make it happen. I am sure you feel the same way. Please join in and network with the other birth professionals here. Each one of us will bring about change within our community and with that the world. Share your knowledge and love of birth and let's join together to change the way women view and experience child birth. I like to remember Odent's words:"A silent low profile midwife."
Many Blessings!
