The cool weather is setting in, kids are back to school, and the harvest season of Autumn is here and at this time, we celebrate women with the West direction as their Natural Birth Compass strength.

West is about comfort and nurturing, seeing to the needs and comfort of everyone around. Autumn  is the season when everything is rich and ripe, the air is scented and delighted with the smell of fruits bursting at the peak of ripeness. Women with West as their strength are nurturing and sensitive and full of compassion, like mother Earth herself.

West women are great nurturers, their caring nature and generosity makes them welcome everywhere. They want everyone to feel safe and at ease and they will do what it takes to make sure everyone is comfortable. These women will provide all the comforts and nourishment for their birth team to ensure they are cared for during the birth.

If you have West as your compass strength, today we celebrate your generosity, your genuine caring for others and your ability to make everyone feel safe and cared for. Because of you, communities are nourished and strong. Your genuine caring ensures everyone you touch feels safe, heard and respected.

As a laboring mother, you will gift your newborn with endless generosity that will ensure your newborn feels safe and warm, you will do whatever it takes to ensure your newborn always feels comforted and secure in birth and beyond.

As a parent, you will demonstrate limitless love and bless your child with nourishment in body and soul.

Embrace your West strengths, treasure them and use them wisely. They are your gifts and will be always at your fingertips if you follow your Natural Birth Compass so you know how to use your strengths and recognize your challenges in birth and beyond.
