Mckenzie was exactly who I needed to be by my side while giving birth. She knew just what I needed to be relaxed and calm. She set the mood for what became my perfect birth; involving my husband and mom. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you so much for an amazing experience. You know what you are doing! <br />

THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE IS
THE HAND THAT RULES THE WORLD.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;">BLESSINGS</span> on the hand of women! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Angels guard its strength and grace.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> In the palace, cottage, hovel, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Oh, no matter where the place; </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Would that never storms assailed it, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Rainbows ever gently curled, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> For the hand that rocks the cradle </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Is the hand that rules the world. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Infancy's the tender fountain, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Power may with beauty flow, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Mothers first to guide the streamlets, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> From them souls unresting grow— </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Grow on for the good or evil, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Sunshine streamed or evil hurled, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> For the hand that rocks the cradle </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Is the hand that rules the world. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Woman, how divine your mission, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Here upon our natal sod; </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Keep—oh, keep the young heart open </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Always to the breath of God!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> All true trophies of the ages </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Are from mother-love impearled, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> For the hand that rocks the cradle </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Is the hand that rules the world. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Blessings on the hand of women! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Fathers, sons, and daughters cry, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> And the sacred song is mingled </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> With the worship in the sky— </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Mingles where no tempest darkens, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Rainbows evermore are hurled; </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> For the hand that rocks the cradle</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"> Is the hand that rules the world. </span><br />

This Link above has a series of videos that will both encourage, and relax mothers on their journey through birth. There are a series of 6 short videos that go through the birth process, studies that have occurred, and ways to create a path in which to follow during the birth process.
