JULIET ANTELMI is a lightworker who specializes in Havening Technique, Birth and Postpartum Doula, Yoga Instructor, Reiki Practitioner and Certified Lactation Counselor. Born in the Island of Jamaica, West Indies, her approach to healing was influenced by the natural way of living close to the land and interacting with nature. She came to Havening after being Havened by another Havener, her interest was piqued and she realized how it could be an added healing modality to her birth work or simple stand on its own in healing and helping the wider community. 

The Havening Technique is a healing modality that is designed to help individuals overcome problems that are the consequence of traumatic encoding. The simple technique can help reduce anxiety and depression by altering the way memories are stored or recalled. Havening involves instructing the patient to recall emotionally disturbing events while the practitioner gently touches the patient's palms, arms and face or the Practitioner can guide the patient to do the self Havening of touching their own face, arms or rubbing their palms together.  The process is thought to work by boosting levels of the mood-stabilizing brain chemical serotonin, which can disrupt the link between the memory of an event and the distress it causes.

For more information on Havening you can find me on The Havening website at Havening.org

Juliet lives in Westchester, New York with her husband and three children.

I began practicing as a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2002 and I specialize in fertility, prenatal, postpartum and infant massage. I also offer Reiki, Yoga, Childbirth Education and Postpartum Doula support.

My love and study of traditional healing arts coupled with an educational background in biology offers a me a unique approach to working with clients and students alike. I attended the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Ithaca, prior to which I earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology and studied herbal medicine at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine. I received advanced training in Perinatal Massage, Infant Massage, Medical Massage, Reiki, and Anatomy Trains. Once I began working with pregnant mothers, I became enchanted by this sacred time in a woman's life.

My own journey of pregnancy began with my son, who was born in 2008. I quickly learned that the sacred time of pregnancy can be scary and challenging. In walking this path as a single mother, I decided to learn and research traditional birth practices. I found an amazing yoga teacher, went to weekly prenatal yoga and attended childbirth education. These experiences grounded me and allowed me to feel at ease, confident and grateful during my pregnancy. I had a powerful and transformative birth experience where I was supported by my yoga practice, a birth doula and a nurse midwife. Having traveled the sacred journey of birth, I wanted to help other women and families.

My next steps were clear.... I completed a 200-hour Yoga teacher training, attended Pre and Postnatal Yoga training, trained as a Lamaze Childbirth Educator, Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Infant Massage Educator. Through my journey I have cultivated a deep respect for the innate wisdom and healing ability of the body, mind and spirit. I am extremely thankful for my teachers, students, clients and colleagues alike. I am the founder of Tree of Life Healing Arts, a Westchester based wellness practice offering Massage, Reiki, Yoga, Childbirth Education and Postpartum doula support.

ANNE MARGOLIS is a Licensed Certified Nurse Midwife, OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner, Certified Yoga Teacher, and Clarity Breathwork Practitioner. She is a 3rd generation guide to mommas birthing babies in her family. Anne has helped thousands of families in her 20+ year midwifery practice. She has been serving the online community with a rapidly growing following on social media of over 69,000 women and the professionals who serve them, around the world.

Through her online childbirth course 'Love Your Birth', her online and in-person midwifery for pregnancy and postpartum support consultations, her birth professional mentoring, her holistic gynecology and traveling homebirth midwifery offerings she infuses wisdom, compassion, inspiration, and joy into the entire process of women’s wellness from mama-hood to menopause. 

Anne’s work, insights and advice have been seen on TV shows and movies including 4 episodes of “A Baby Story” on TLC and the Discovery Channel, and the award winning feature documentary, 'Orgasmic Birth.' She has been interviewed for local and national radio programs and podcasts. Anne has also been a featured speaker and expert panelist at distinguished events for Weil-Cornell School of Medicine, the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, and the RCC State University of New York School of Nursing to name a few.

She has midwifed mommas and babies for over two decades, with clients describing her as “passionate, sensitive, big hearted, and a playful ball of light.” When she’s not helping mommas around the world you can find her doing yoga (anywhere and everywhere), dancing, traveling, enjoying family time and watching comedy.

Anne teaches women life skills - tools for not only coping with, but also loving their experience, however it unfolds, whatever challenges they face along the way. Anne helps mommas create and live in their joy, find their authentic voice, and their divine feminine power and strength as women. She preserves the sacred space so that a women's body can do what it needs to do to fully surrender to the process, and still be completely empowered and worshipped like a goddess during her birth. When Anne helps a woman with her pregnancy, birth, or with postpartum, she has been told that it changes the mom’s life and her baby’s life forever. It becomes a family experience that ripples out to impact everyone and it enhances the lives and relationships of all whom they touch. Anne is so thrilled that after over twenty years of working with her local community she is now able to support mommas to have incredible journeys to birth and mama-hood, no matter where they live or what their plans are. Anne feels the more we can share information and create environments for empowered births and living, the more healthy, happy and vibrant families can be.

Anne is the two-time number one bestselling author of "Natural Birth Secrets: An Insider's Guide How To Give Birth Holistically, Healthfully and Safely, and Love the Experience," and "Trauma Release Formula: The Revolutionary Step by Step Program for Eliminating Effects of Childhood Abuse, Trauma, Emotional Pain and Crippling Inner Stress, to Living in Joy without Drugs or Therapy."
