About

A Sound Beginning is a 7 week program, which begins at 28-34 weeks of pregnancy. This program is a comprehensive parenting program which explores all angles of parenting and will give you techniques and skills required to be the best parent you can be.
Using your own voice you will create a Womb Song that is one of the key aspects to this program. Your Womb Song will be played during your last trimester, during birth and into infancy. As you learn about the power of the Womb Song you will be amazed how well your Womb Song will be able to calm your baby. As you read on, be sure to check out the Recording Studio and make sure to listen to the Inside the Womb audio sounds.
As health professionals interested in mental, emotional and spiritual well-being and as parents, we have a deep and enduring concern for raising psychologically sound babies in supportive families.
We are striving to lessen the problems that can result from stress and anxiety during one of the most exciting, yet challenging periods in a family’s growth and development.
We are consciously aware of the significant effects that behavior during pregnancy can have on the emotional, psychological and even the physical growth of the unborn child.

And this is why A Sound Beginning was created.

As you join us now, whether this is your first baby or your fifth, know that you are not merely a passive reader of a new “how to” book . . . you and your family are active participants in this engrossing program for your baby’s and your family’s development.
A Sound Beginning has been designed to be rich in experiences and information, fun, easy, and valuable in building a healthy and strong emotional family foundation.
But, for such growth, the program requires a certain degree of regular, active use. Becoming an active participant, giving of yourself now, committing yourself to the activities that will benefit you and your baby can also help prepare you for the commitment that will be demanded of you by your newborn.
