Prenatal Singing
Congratulations on your pregnancy! You have entered into an incredibly formative and life-changing moment. It is an unbelievable experience to grow a baby and to give birth. My name is Kendy Gable and I am a doula, holistic vocal teacher and singer-songwriter. Since the birth of my two sons, I have created a nourishing and supportive Prenatal Singing and Postnatal Singing program to support you through pregnancy, birth and motherhood.
Sing your baby earthside!
What is Prenatal Singing?
The first sense that we develop in our mother’s womb is hearing.
The first symphony that we experience is that of our mother’s heartbeat, her breath, her voice and the sounds of the waters that surround us. We hear our mother’s speaking voice and experience her voice and the sound of it in even a deeper way when she sings - the harmonies, the tones, the vibrations. Sounds that may be our first awareness that a world lay out before us outside of our mother’s womb.Prenatal singing is an act that supports the development of the baby and the emotional, mental and physical states of the mother. The mother who is forming the baby, the life within her.Prenatal singing is something that is carried with women throughout the pregnancy, during the birth and beyond. Enriching and supporting the mother and the babies lives.Prenatal singing as an offering, subject, and field of research was developed in the 1970’s by Marie Louise Aucher, a classically trained singer who founded the pyschophonie way of singing, but we have been singing during pregnancy and childbirth for thousands of years.Singing is nourishing to our bodies, our minds and our hearts. We sing to connect, singing helps us to process emotions - joy, sadness, pain, praise.We sing to birth our babies into the world and sing the songs of soothing and healing.
