Kim Nelli: Conscious Birthing

Being afraid of childbirth – as natural and beautiful as it is – isn’t unusual for many first-time mothers.

In this episode of Living 4D with Paul Chek, Holistic Lifestyle Coach Kim Nelli talks about how she conquered her fears around childbirth.  It all began with a midwifery class and turned in to an amazing journey of working with wild dolphins and becoming an expert on natural childbirth.
