It's Time to Chill Out and Destress! Read my article in Well Rounded NY! 

I was asked by Women's Health Magazine about some of my most interesting births! Read on!

​

On Well Rounded NY. You’ve heard about midwives, read about them, and maybe even watched an episode or two of the highly acclaimed British TV program, “Call the Midwife.” But let’s get real. It’s 2016, and we live in America – not in the fifties, in east end London, England. So what is it really like to work with a midwife?

As seen in Big Apple Parent, Risa Klein is a certified nurse midwife with an office on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. She was the “birth consultant” for the feature films Baby Mama and Maze. 

Featured in mother.ly. As a certified nurse midwife, I take a lot of time with my women to look at some of the challenges they’ve overcome in their lives and to channel that energy if in fact they face obstacles during their labor and birth. I have them go back to their power. I want their mind to shift from thinking “birth is going to be really difficult” to “this is challenging, but wow—this is incredibly empowering. I can do this!”

You’re newly pregnant and it’s time to find the right health care provider to take care of you and your gestating baby. Or perhaps this is your second or third pregnancy and you feel it’s time for a new provider. You’ve heard about midwives and want to know more about what they do, and any benefits that you could experience if you hire one. Here’s the scoop on working with a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) or Certified Midwife (CM). 

As seen on C&J Nutrition.com: We recently had the opportunity to get-to-know and interview Risa Klein, a Certified Nurse Midwife in New York City, about some of the same discomforts that we cover in our cookbook. We found her answers, and the whole idea behind how what you eat during pregnancy can influence your childbirth experience fascinating….and thought you might too! This interview helps paint the picture of some of the other connections between symptoms, discomforts, and what they all can mean from a medical professionals standpoint.
