Blissborn Birth Hypnosis: You're built for a better birth.

So... it's been a while since we've posted.
We at Blissborn have made a conscious decision to back off of social media, in both our personal and professional lives! What we've found after many years is that it's not something that actually brings us closer together, and the algorithms aren't human-friendly anyway. We fully respect our users' decisions on these matters in their own lives! We are just getting off this crazy train for a while.
We are still actively responding to our clients, sharing important moments together, teaching and learning and being a big part of the world of birth. We are still supporting our Educators and our live and homestudy students. We are still having trainings for new teachers and providers. Blissborn is still very active in the world! But it feels really good to say goodbye to Facebook, and we are happy to actively create a better headspace in the real world, outside of the yuck and division supported here. Here's to real life and real birth and real connections! Please reach out to us if we can support you in any way -- we're here! [email protected], or toll free 877-45-BLISS (25477)

Does sunlight change our gut microbiome? Scientists have found changes in the gut microbiomes of vitamin D deficient volunteers after only three sessions of ultraviolet light exposure.

Imagine.

Wow!! Imagine a hospital where vertical birth was not only practiced.... but preferred! The hospital in Otavalo, Ecuador has a 90% vaginal birth rate (vaginal!), of which approximately 75% are born vertically! The other 15% are birthed in a clinical room similar to North American standards. This means that only 10% of births are cesarean, which is 5% below the national Ecuadorian average of 15% cesarean births. Oh, and if THAT didn’t blow your doula mind... they are an intercultural institution where the Indigenous midwife (partera) has her own prenatal room, that resembles the inside of a home - with a fire place, beds, stove, and more! For over 20 years this hospital has been promoting these relationships and practices. The community feels supported, listened to, and connected through option and shared respect for their diversity.

Good way to teach toilet paper roll lessons?

Making your baby food is easy, cheap, and rewarding. Plus, jarred baby food is largely disgusting-tasting. Hop off that train that says industry must provide all the things for your baby—babies don’t need much and what you provide is almost always better anyway!

Report: 95% of tested baby foods in the US contain toxic metals PARENT ALERT: Toxic heavy metals damaging to your baby's brain development are likely in the baby food you are feeding your infant, according to a new report.
