About the Author
Over the past three decades Nancy Burns has counseled pregnant and postpartum women and couples in her private practice as a licensed psychotherapist in Northern California. She includes the use of Hypnosis, E.M.D.R. and PSYCH-K® to address the subconscious. Nancy has worked with pregnant women in many other capacities including- teaching prenatal yoga, facilitating ceremonial and support groups for pregnant women and has assisted women in labor as a doula. She was introduced to the sacred art of mandalas during several pilgrimages to a Huichol Indian village in the Sierra Madres, Mexico and many years of participating in yoga ceremonies that include the use of yantras (mandalas). The idea for creating birth mandalas was conceived when she was meditating, which she later realized was perfect since the birth mandala is a profound meditative experience. Nancy became aware that the process of creating a mandala for childbirth was a creative way to tap into and reprogram the subconscious mind with possitive beliefs, images and feelings about childbirth. She offers workshops for pregnant women/couples and for childbirth professionals.
