Her Story
India: Gurjeet experienced her first birth in India, complete with epidural, drugs, and forceps, and was traumatized because she had done nothing to prepare for her baby’s birth. Because she was a registered nurse, she believed she would be well taken care of by her father, chief anesthesiologist in the hospital she planned to give birth.
When things got bad, he assisted her with an epidural that provided short term relief. It was followed by difficulties in the birth process and her little one was unceremoniously yanked out with a pair of forceps. This of course caused physical trauma to her baby and physical and emotional trauma to her.
This had such a powerful impact on her that she spent her entire life on a quest to put together all the pieces of the puzzle required to complete the picture of an easy effortless natural childbirth.
Australia: The University of Western Sydney, Australia awarded her a scholarship to research complementary therapies used by women and midwives in the greater Sydney and Blue Mountain areas.
New Zealand: Her quest for learning birth practices of local midwives took her to Auckland, New Zealand and it was here that she trained with John Kehoe and learned how the mind works on a deeper, subconscious level, and our joy and pain unfold from this state without us even realizing it.
United States: Gurjeet trained with Dr. Kevin Hogan, master hypnotherapist and Marie Mongan, founder of Hypnobirthing. She studied with Dr. Joe Dispenza and learned the amazing powers of the mind. Dr. Anne Marie Evers, the Affirmation Doctor and author of numerous books, taught her how to use affirmations effectively.
Canada: Gurjeet migrated to Canada after UBC Hospital asked her to join them. Later she assisted women during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum at the Surrey hospital.
While working in Surrey, BC she saw first time moms who were so fearful when they arrived to give birth at the hospital. They had not done anything during their pregnancy to prepare for childbirth and resorted to narcotics for pain relief. They were open to medical and surgical interventions as they were not aware of tapping into their own body resources and natural alternatives that they could use, and experienced side effects and complications associated with these drugs.
She strongly felt that if these women had prepared themselves mentally, eliminated their fears so they could stay happy and relaxed, and cared for their bodies during pregnancy, they could have had an enjoyable birth experience. These women needed a comprehensive step by step program to prepare them physically, mentally, and emotionally so they could approach childbirth in a relaxed and confident manner. The problem was that they did not have a roadmap for that preparation.
