I began practicing Yoga and studying various Eastern
Religions in 2003. My practice intensified while trying
to get pregnant . In the winter of 2004, I was pregnant
with my second daughter, Emerson Claire. My husband
and I chose to use Hypnobirthing techniques in her birth
as we wanted to bring her into the world in as peaceful
and natural way as possible.

THE BIRTH BEADS
STORY...a.k.a, How it all began:
STORY...a.k.a, How it all began:
As I excitedly waited and prepared for the birth, I looked for ways to make the
experience an even more meaningful one. In addition to a traditional Baby Shower, I had
a Blessingway Ceremony. It was a beautifully moving experience. I asked all of the
attendees to bring a bead to make a strand of Birth Beads which I would then take to
my birthing experience. The Birth Beads were in my hand, a reminder of the female
energy and support given to me at my Blessingway, when I delivered 9 pound 8 ounce
Emerson naturally and without the assistance of drugs.
As friends began having children, I wanted to pass on to them the gift of Birth Beads.
Often, an opportunity did not present itself to make the strand with others as mine
were. In those cases, I gifted the expectant mother a complete strand of Birth Beads,
sharing with them the meaning and the positive energy I sent with it for their birthing. It
was an honor to know that although I may not be there physically to support the mother
(and her partner) in the birthing, the Birth Beads would. Other times I was able to
arrange for friends and family of the expectant mother to bring a bead to add to the
strand I had started. In those cases the strand carried the positive energy and support
of a group of women: a powerful symbol to have with you during the birthing experience.
Thus, Birth Beads was "born".
In 2006, my third daughter, Maya Isabel was born. A beautiful Birth Beads strand was
made at my Blessingway Ceremony which I again used during her birth. Again, using
Hynobirthing techniques, Maya was birthed naturally and without the assistance of
drugs-weighing in at a whopping .6 oz shy of 11 lbs!!
I hope that your births will be joyful and blessed. May your BirthBeads bring you
everything they brought me...with maybe slightly smaller babies!

AND THEN THERE CAME CHAKRA BEADS:
Chakra Beads were added when a friend admired the Birth
Beads Bracelet. The use of the chakras in the design
resignated with her, but she commented she had no intention of
having children herself. I did not want my vision to be limited to
those who had, or intended to have children. The Chakra
Beads design came to me during a quiet meditative state while
nursing Emerson.
Life turned my focus from pregnancy and birth to the need for
balance. Balance in life begins with balance of the Chakras.
Through the years, the Chakra Beads line expanded from
Chakra Balancing Jewelry to include Yoga Jewelry, inspired
from traditional Buddhist Malas.

Knowing that I can share in
