Dropwise to Host Free Holistic Pregnancy Tele-Summit
May 21st-June 6th 2013

Ground-breaking Seminar Reveals Secrets for Birthing Healthier, Happier Babies 

San Francisco, CA - Dropwise Essentials announced its virtual event --The Holistic Pregnancy Tele-Summit: A Celebration of New & Vibrant Life. A ground-breaking FREE tele-seminar series that brings together some of the foremost experts in natural self-care and childbirth to address the #1 fear most pregnant women have and reveal the secrets to delivering healthier, happier babies. This free educational event consists of 6 tele-classes spread out over a 3-week period starting on May 21st and runs through June 6th.

The purpose of these calls, which can also be accessed via the Web, is to help women better understand their childbirth options; teach them how to overcome the stress and fears common to pregnancy; transform their birth experience from one of fear and pain to one of joy and ecstasy; and transition into or embrace a holistic lifestyle prior to childbirth and beyond.

After surveying a range of pregnant women to uncover their greatest fears and concerns about pregnancy, Dropwise discovered that the #1 fear most of them had in common is actually giving birth. Some of their other top concerns were: being able to stay calm and peaceful during their pregnancy, having a natural childbirth free of medical intervention, and transitioning to parenthood.

"There's a lot of stress and anxiety connected to the anticipation of labor and birth –mostly due to a lack of widely available information on childbirth choices, and cultural conditioning that leads pregnant women to believe that it's supposed to be a difficult and painful process," said Dropwise CEO and Founder, Donya Fahmy. "We've always been a big proponent of empowering women to make safe and sustainable choices when it comes to their health and well-being, so we consulted some natural birthing experts and collectively decided to host this event," she added.

Among the experts who will be sharing tips, secrets and wisdom are:

Debra Pascali-Bonaro, Director of the film "Orgasmic Birth: The Best Kept Secret" and co-author of "Orgasmic Birth: Your Guide to a Safe Satisfying and Pleasurable Birth Experience"
