Deep Relaxation Tapes Introduced
to St. Vincent's Hospital
In
1992 Debie introduced Deep Relaxation tapes to St. Vincent's
Hospital. She then customized them for Dr. Michael Delaney (Chairman of the Eye
Department) for his patients to use before and during surgery (Still being
used). Soon after, she was dedicating her time to clients referred to her
by other health practitioners, who were in need of Customized Healing
Meditation
Prenatal Deep Relaxation Techniques and Meditation
Debie
began networking with Lily Liu, Sydney's
leading Chinese Herbalist for women, in 1995. Her practice began focusing more
around women who wanted to conceive and learn Antenatal / Prenatal Yoga and
Deep Relaxation techniques. She began
creating meditation tapes for women to use during pregnancy. Each one customized and designed around the
woman’s desire and her birth. This all lead up to her new year’s resolution for
the year 2000.
“To make her work
available to the many rather than the few.”
She loves her research related to Body, Mind and Spirit and continues to
create new projects designed to improve one's quality of life, for one's spiritual and general well
being.
Safe Yoga
For Mother’s-To- Be DVD
Debie’s
first project was her Yoga video for pregnant women. Her passion was to let
women know that Yoga is one of the best ways to prepare your body, mind and
emotions for childbirth. However, it must be modified and focus on the security
of the pregnancy first. It was filmed around Bondi Beach
area by ABC Productions.
The
music soundtrack, for the video, was composed by the grand master Riley Lee on
his “Shakuhachi Flute.” It’s available on CD.
Debie’s
intention was to have this music “Inner Light” used
in conjunction with the video. Because Debie’s research has shown that babies
can hear and respond to music while still in the womb. They love lullabies and
flute music. This music will keep mother and child magically connected anytime
day or night through movement and sound.
Played during childbirth will keep baby secure and you’ll remain relaxed
and calm.
Guided Meditations For Mother’s
And Babies
Studies
have shown that babies can hear, understand, learn and remember while still in
the womb. Debie’s guided meditation “Baby’s Journey”
prepares baby for childbirth. So when you go into
labour, your baby can let go of fear and resistance and feel secure.
All this makes for an easier and less painful birth so you can enjoy the
experience of childbirth.
Children’s Stories
Along side Debie’s work in providing a complete holistic program to prepare
you physically, mentally and emotionally for childbirth, she’s has found time
to write a series of children’s books. Two in a series of three are finished
now. They are centred around a group of young girls who form the New Witches Club.
Babies love hearing stories while they are in
the womb. They experience the world outside through their mother’s emotions. If
you read a book that you enjoy, your baby enjoys it and remembers it after the
birth.
