About
NaturalBabyPros.com is a website, resource and directory built to educate about the natural and alternative options in creating healthy, natural babies and moms. It was created with the purpose of educating women and couples on the many natural health care options available for preconception through postpartum and baby care, and to help connect them with the best therapies and professionals for them and their families.
Think of it as a place where like-minded families and practitioners can find each other, collaborate, and share information about fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and baby care and services.
Our deepest desire is to create opportunities for families to meet other families and practitioners in a non-judgmental, educative and supportive environment, whether online or in the community. We want to build a strong referral network between professionals and each individual profession in an effort to provide the best, most well-rounded resource available for fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and baby care.
To us, informed choice = empowerment, no matter what that choice may be. It is time for the benefits of natural, holistic perspectives on conception, pregnancy, birth and parenting to be become a viable option for more families, and we would like to provide the place and resource for that to become reality.

About Me
My name is Jen Aliano. I am the Co-Owner and Creator of Natural Baby Pros. First and foremost, I am a wife and mother of two wonderful baby boys who take up the majority of my time and attention. I love them more than I have ever loved anything in my life, and it is because of them that I started this website and adventure. The births that we experienced together, and the time we spent together before and after those births, are what motivated me to take on this amazing project. If it weren’t for them, this website would not be here, nor would I have found my life’s calling…
I am also an acupuncturist, nutritionist, and holistic health practitioner, specializing in the care and treatment of fertility issues, pregnancy, and the post-partum period. I smile when I think of the babies that I have helped bring into this world, but then am reminded of how many women and couples are still struggling with just becoming pregnant, and many of them are unaware of all the different therapies available to help before, during, and after their own journeys into motherhood.
My own births are another reason I am so inspired to work on this project. I wouldn’t say that I have any regrets about how my two sons were birthed, but I would say that I wish I was more educated. Both of my sons were born in the hospital, thankfully with an amazing OB who was very open to natural birth and natural therapies. My first son, Carson, came with the help of an epidural. I was planning on using self-hypnotherapy for his birth, but without the proper help and support of a birth partner, realized it was too much for me to do on my own through the entire process. Because of this, I was well prepared for the birth of my second son… I hired a doula. Much thanks to her, I had a successful and amazing birth with Adam. There is much more to this story, but I will leave it at that for now. What I can say from these experiences, and those that followed each birth, is that it not only takes an amazing woman to be a great mother, it also takes the right education, the right opportunities, strength and trust in your own innate wisdom to make the best choices for you and your children. That is what makes you the best mother you can possibly be to your children. But in order to make choices, you must know all your options, and this is where Natural Baby Pros plays its part!
A Glimpse of the Future
Although I see a great need being met with the completion of this website, and with the information and services that it provides, I feel there is still so much to do in support of creating healthy babies, supporting new mothers, and maintaining healthy relationships between them, especially in the United States. That said, a percentage of our profits will be used to support another cause of mine: helping moms after birth. I would like to dedicate a unique website to helping new moms in those crucial first few months of her baby's life, and eventually, I'd like to start a non-profit bringing services to any new mother who needs help, such as donated meals, doula services, sitters, even massages, etc.. I believe that so much attention is paid to being pregnant and giving birth, and not enough attention and education is dedicated to the time after birth. Many new moms find themselves exhausted, deprived of self-attention and care, and surprised at the dramatic change in lifestyle and every day activities. It is my life passion to help these mothers, to educate about what to expect after birth, and to provide information on how to cope with and ease through the transition into motherhood (whether it is with her first or fourth child). So keep your eye out for these exciting developments in the future! (If you would like more information, feel free to contact me through email at jen@naturalbabypros.com.)
Thank you for your support! I look forward to growing relationships with and learning from all of you!
All the Best,
Jen Aliano
Co-Owner and Founder of Natural Baby Pros.
