Tune in now to gain insights on understanding your own imprints and using this understanding to access  the courage to assert yourself in this pivotal phase of life with Nicole Moore.

Nicole Moore is a Mother, gardener, performance artist, poet, and an outspoken, multi-passionate birth nerd. She has lived on an off-grid intentional community in the forest, by the sea, for the last 20 years, raising her kids and cultivating a deep trust in birth & life. Her mission is to help women and families know what is possible in birth, why it matters, and to help them access a blissful experience for themselves. (Along with all the associated gifts and side effects…) Nicole knows in her bones that birth can be beautiful because she is one of the ‘lucky’ ones who had incredible, undisturbed birth experiences. She draws on these memories or imprints every day of her Mothering life. 

Nicole’s lived experience of birth as beautiful, bountiful, and full of potential as a doorway to healing – along with her 15 years of work with birth imprints (via the Birth Into Being Method) confirms her beliefs in birth as a tool of conscious evolution.
