DVD Reviews

One of the most common questions asked by the partner of a pregnant/laboring woman is "what can I do to help her?" Here is a program that answers that question. Concrete ways to help the pregnant/laboring woman through massage, relaxation and positioning are demonstrated and explained. This is a great teaching tool for childbirth educators, midwives and doctors. And a MUST for expecting couples.

Jewelry

Establish Balance Intention Jewelry is a result of founder and designer, Heidi Reagan's quest to blend her passion for art with her love for the Law of Attraction Principles.

Heidi originally designed these beautiful necklaces for herself, and her teenage daughter, to wear as a daily reminder to focus on a particular intention. However, the positive response to her private collection was immediate and inspiring resulting in an extended line that is now available to the public. Each pendant is a one of a kind, hand painted piece set in a beautiful high gloss resin and designed to enhance your wardrobe with its unique beauty. In addition, the inks and water used to create the pendants have affirmations on each bottle to encourage the specific vibration represented by each intention word.
