Lori Bregman’s Rooted for Life Program:

Pregnancy Coaching for the New Mother and for

the Mother to Be :

If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies. ~Author Unknown

Just as the caterpillar goes through a major transformation to become a butterfly, so does a woman as she goes thru the life creating process – from pre-conception, to pregnancy, to birth, and finally to motherhood. A life changing transformation takes place; not only will she birth a baby but she will also give birth to another part of her self that never existed before she became a mother.

Whether you are trying to conceive, are pregnant, or are a new mother, The Rooted for Life Program will help support, guide, and better prepare your body, mind and spirit for this special time in your life.  Rooted for Life is a 4 part (pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, birth / postpartum, and  motherhood) complete body, mind and spirit support system for your transformation into motherhood. Rooted for life helps you birth a healthy baby and to birth the healthy and happy unborn mother that resides within you. In addition you will build a solid foundation from which both your child and you will grow. Lori supports her clients on an energetic, emotional, spiritual, mental and physical level, offering insight and compassion along the journey.

Each Rooted for Life session has a specific, timely topic that will help build a healthy foundation for your child and you. Each client receives an individually tailored program that includes the following:  relevant articles, hand-outs, homework, tools and thought topics. Each of these are individually made & birthed from the session depending on each client’s specific journey into motherhood.

“Strengthening your own foundation is one of the very best beginnings you can give your child. We all lead by example; children watch, mimic and become what WE are. The healthier, happier, more conscious and aware we live our lives so will our children. It all starts with you.” – Lori Bregman
