Cathy Moore is a Certified Nurse Midwife currently in active practice in the Boston area with 20 years experience attending births, and she holds an appointment as a clinical instructor in the department of OB/GYN at Harvard Medical School.  She is also certified as a pre/postnatal fitness instructor through the Dancing Thru Pregnancy™ program.  Her experience as a midwife has convinced her of the connection between belly dance and birth.  She is happy to be able to offer women yet another tool to help steer them through pregnancy and birth so that they emerge feeling powerful and beautiful in this most creative and most abundant time in their lives.
