The Pregnancy Support formula was inspired by the work and research of Cynthia Abu-Asseff, a flower essence therapist and mother living in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Cynthia started using the Alaskan essences with mothers and babies at a center called Projeto Renascer in January of 1999. This center was started in 1991 by a service oriented spiritual group led by Cynthia's parents. In the years since it's formation, it has helped over 1000 pregnant women.

The initial formula used at the center, and from which Pregnancy Support was developed, was created to nourish, protect, and facilitate the entire birth process. Pregnancy Support can be used to:

* Help a woman create and nurture a new sacred space in her life and body for the growth and development of her baby.
* Enable both the mother and the indwelling soul to clear any ambivalence they have about being present on the Earth.
* Help mothers strengthen their connection with the Earth so they can provide nurturing energy for themselves and their families.
* Help mothers who themselves suffered from a traumatic birth to heal this trauma so they can offer a stronger body/soul connection to their babies.
* Support the developing energetic triad between the mother, father, and baby.
