Today we talk with Kristy Rodriguez, HypnoBirthing® childbirth educator and author of “Pure Nurture—A Holistic Guide to a Healthy Baby.” We discuss the topic of holistic mind-body health and how it relates to pregnancy and birth. We start out talking about the importance of being supportive of and kind to ourselves about our diet during pregnancy, taking into account the reality of bio-individuality. We talk about mindfulness and the physical and mental aspects of holistic health, particularly the best ways to protect your mental and physical energy during pregnancy. We then define the holistic mind-body connection and give several examples from real life, and then apply that to your pregnancy, birth, postpartum, post-weaning, and mothering experiences. We also talk about using Yoga and breathing techniques in strengthening our relaxation response.

“The breath has a very powerful impact on our body, and that’s why breath work -- breathing techniques -- are such a big part of many childbirth education classes, because we can use the breath to support us through the birthing process.” 30:48
