Rainoshek Pregnancy and Raw Mom Summit

[Katrina Rainoshek]

Hello Juice Feasting Community!

We hope that this email finds you all having a beautiful, juicy season! It is summer in Canada and we are celebrating every sunny moment.

As some of you may know, we are expecting our first child to arrive any day now!

Our due date is Summer Solstice, June 21st, and Katrina is feeling healthy and wonderful at 38 weeks pregnant.

 
What a wonderful time to be expecting a baby!

About a month ago, I (Katrina) was very fortunate to be invited on board with Shannon Leone and Tera Warner of RawMom.com for the up-coming Raw Mom Summit. We spent a lovely hour discussing how my pregnancy has been progressing, how it was for me to Juice Feast in preparation for pregnancy (David and I Juice Feasted for 70 and 88 Days, respectively, during the 2008 Global Juice Feast before inviting in our new baby. You can read more about it on our blog HERE), some of my favorite books, resources, and much more.

I have just been looking over the Raw Mom Summit webpage and it looks gorgeous! I am so excited to tune in and listen to the wealth of information that Shannon has compiled in over 30 interviews with such an inspiring and diverse group of people. Please do head on over to www.rawmomsummit.com and read all about it…

The RAW MOM SUMMIT

What if you could gather together some of the most inspirational health leaders in the world and get them together in the same place for 9 days to discuss the subjects of nutrition, pregnancy, childbirth, parenting and other family health care issues?

What if you could get YOUR concerns addressed about how to succeed on a healthy diet or how to feed your children the best food? What if you could finally get answers to your questions about:

* What to do about Fertility, Ovulation and Conscious Conception?
* How to prepare for a Healthy Pregnancy, Labor and Childbirth?
* What is Attachment Parenting?
* Which natural remedies to use when your children are sick?
* How to feed a meat-eating partner if you are vegetarian or vegan?
* What should you feed yourself when you're overwhelmed with cravings?
* How to get kids excited and involved in their own food-prep?
* What to do when our kids rebel against our healthy diet?
* What is going on with the Bees and why is it so important?
* How to shrink our Carbon Footprint?
* What is Sustainability and Permaculture?

* What do Raw children eat?
* How to get picky eaters to crave their veggies?
* Which foods help kids transition and stick to a healthier diet?
* What are the other Top Lifestyle Factors besides diet for longevity?

What if you could get the answers to all these questions and a WHOLE LOT MORE while washing dishes in your pajamas and bouncing a babe on your hip at the same time?

Sound too good to be true?

Well, not if we're talking about an exciting new event that has been put together by two self-employed mothers with the spunk and determination to get these questions answered by some of the most outstanding experts in the world!

"It's time to bring together the Leaders in our community and inspire women as the heartbeat of their homes, to be the change we NEED to see in the world. It's time that we tell the world that the Evolution of Motherhood has arrived!"

Tera Warner, founder of www.RawMom.com

Wow, there is such an amazing line up of speakers, and all the interviews will be available for FR@EE for a limited, precious time! I truly look forward to tuning in and listening….perhaps I will even be able to do so while nursing my sweet new nursling! What a blessing to have such amazing information available as I am about to be born into the role of motherhood!

Please do head over and check it out! It will be an amazing resource for anyone with a family, and that is all of us!

The summit starts on MONDAY, JUNE 22, so be sure to sign up TODAY!!

There is also an amazing offer to purchase the whole bundle of interviews for your listening leisure so that you can listen whenever you want and as often as you want! In addition to the interviews, you will receive 20 BONUSES from many of the speakers.

These bonuses all look so valuable I will have to sign up for the program myself! In amongst all the other gems, you will receive an e-book version of the children’s book written and illustrated by David and I, Julia and the Nut Mylk Tree.

 
Hope to see you on RawMomSummit.com soon!

I have fully been enjoying this pregnancy, and although I have not been active in blogging, I have just written up a little something you might enjoy on our blog HERE.

You can also check out a pregnancy photo album, Growing a Bliss Ball Baby, I have just up-loaded to our Flickr account HERE.


We can’t wait to introduce you all to our Beloved Baby Rain one day very soon!

With peaceful steps and infinite blessings to you and your radiant health,

Hi Katrina,
Congratulations on your baby. You are so fortunate to have had such a blissful peaceful pregnancy.
I have a 10 month old baby girl, Mara. I was raw for 5 years and raw throughout my pregnancy and living in Ojai, CA hiking in the mountains everyday and eating fresh picked food, up until a few month before I gave birth.

While I physically had a perfect pregnancy and birth, because of the lack of support from the baby's father I was emotionally distraught throught my pregnancy and decided to move back to New York to my mother's house a month before I gave birth. I cannot believe it has been only a year, as the past year has been the most difficult of my life by far.
The combination of moving back in with my mother, separation from my partner of 3 years and baby's father and being a new mother on my own in the polluted city has been extremely taxing. However because I was coming from such a state of health a year ago I have managed to maintain a mostly raw diet.
I really am in great need of the support of other raw mothers right now and am trying to find a way to get back to the West Coast somehow, as I have found the levels of environmental and emotional toxicity here extremely hard to deal with.
However, I continue to give my daughter everything I have and don't and I am determined to get back to the West Coast for her somehow and raise her in a raw community and want to find a way to fulfill all the dreams I had for her while I was pregnant (being raw, eating fresh picked food, learning about and being raised in nature).
I am so grateful for the connection with other raw mothers you are offering here!
Please feel free to email me with any ideas or advice that might spring to mind...
