How My Belly Painting Began
Welcome to my belly painting page. I want to tell
you a little about myself here. I became a
trained doula professional in 2005 because my
sister was going to be having a baby. My sister
was restriced to the bed for almost the majority
of her pregnancy, and what else could I do with
her but paint her belly? It was great, she was
able to relax, put her feet up, receive a lot of
attention and actually relish in being pregnant.
After our first 4 (!) paintings, I had to rest.
She let me rest for about 5 minutes, before she
started conjurring up more and more designs. All
in all I painted her belly 28 times (!!) over the
course of four months. I was able to master my
trade and also make a beautiful alphabet book for
my niece out of all her belly paintings--so that
she could know that we played with her before she
was even born. Since then I have offered belly
painting to all of my doula clients and many of
them have been intrigued and have taken me up on
this fun opportunity. And now I would like to
invite anyone who is pregnant to enjoy my belly
painting services, please peruse my portfolio in
the gallery and contact me with any questions.
Thank you, Jane

Love you ideas
Hi Jane, I am a fellow face and body painter and
I came across you site as I wanted to show a
friend of mine who I pregnant some ideas as she
is new it the whole idea.
Wow is all I can say and that you are so creative
with all your ideas. The alphabet book, cards
really stood out to me but the rest are great too.
I also spend some time in hospital with SPD and
hubby and I painted my belly over the last two
days before my daughter was born. Everyone that
see's the belly painting - love's it. I dont have
much opportunity to paint bumps so I'm always on
the look out so that I can get practice and it
will help build up my profile. Keep up the great
work. Helen
