"Research now shows that women who prepare mentally, by combining deep relaxation, with Guided Imagery in Childbirth, will often demonstrate fewer complications, less discomfort and experience shorter labor.
I personally believe that these CD's will offer women a choice for a more comfortable, satisfying pregnancy, and childbirth experience.
I only wish Glenda and her CD's had been available when I was preparing for my own pregnancy and childbirth experience!"

"I have been working with Glenda Cedarleaf's "Preparing for Childbirth" audio through my third trimester. The imagery, relaxation, and guided meditation have put me on a journey of feeling prepared to give birth to my baby-- replacing feelings of being fearful or scared. Glenda's voice soothes and reassures, even as it encourages women to draw on the strength and wisdom we have inside of in the labor and delivery of our babies.
The tools for relaxation have also helped me through some of the more difficult parts of this final stage of pregnancy -- namely assisting with getting to sleep, and helping me better cope with back and hip pain. While physical therapy is helping realign my body to lesson the back and hip pain, after I do my PT exercises, I've been working with the "Preparing for Childbirth" audio as a way to help me relax my body and return my mind to a state of calm.
I will certainly be taking Glenda -- or at least her audio!-- into the the labor and delivery room with me, and am so grateful that I will have that resource to draw from when the time comes."
