This episode of the podcast starts the conversation about the baby’s experience of birth and the way in which babies too want to tell their birth story. Heli shared the ways in which Zone Therapy can support the parenting journey from conception to postpartum as well as how it can help the babies after they are born. By helping the baby relax and ease tension in their body, Heli helps families who deal with belly aches, unexplained crying, sleep challenges, and more. We spoke about the patterns that Heli notices in the baby’s body depending on the kind of pregnancy and birth experience that they have had. This is so fascinating to understand the impact that the birth has on our babies and actually on all of us. Zone therapy is a wonderful way to support the parents as well as the baby throughout the entire journey and this episode is here to guide you through how that is done. If you listen to this episode and feel called to have more guidance and support in listening to your baby’s crying as they share their birth story, please schedule a Discovery Call with me through my website motherstransition.com. I work 1-1 with families and mothers to help my clients find their center so they can feel more prepared and capable to hold space for their child’s emotions as I do for them. I look forward to hearing from you, and now let’s get started on this episode with Heli about Emotional Zone Therapy.
