Loving Birth - Professional Loving Support, Education and Guidance
Increasing love, joy, growth, delight and ease in pregnancy, birth and motherhood transitions

Pregnancy, birth and early motherhood transitions can bring immense love, joy, delight and growth

These transitions can also present intense challenges -
many pregnant women and new mothers suffer fear, anxiety, loneliness, guilt, shame and depression.

Women (and their families) experience more love, joy, delight, growth and ease during pregnancy, birth and motherhood transitions when:

• ​they feel seen, heard, supported, safe and loved
• their feelings are validated
• their emotional, relational, spiritual and psychological health is prioritised  alongside their physical health
• their wellbeing is considered and prioritised alongside their baby’s wellbeing
• they are supported to reach out and connect with a ‘village’ of like-minded women

When women (and their families) receive appropriate, sensitive, professional support, education and guidance during pregnancy, birth and motherhood the benefits are profound:

• increased love, joy, delight and ease in pregnancy, birth and mothering
• increased presence and stronger connection with one’s baby and family
• a sound foundation for baby’s secure attachment
• increased potential for growth and healing
• opportunities to develop one’s own secure attachment
• a foundation of love and connection for life-long health, prosperity and happiness
• transformation of challenges into resourcefulness

Private Birth Preparation Sessions

One-on-one or couples sessions are designed to address your specific needs, whether you seek education, information and knowledge, clarity around your birth intentions, or to learn to breathing and comfort techniques. Private and personal, these sessions can be arranged to suit your availability, and allow space to explore more personal issues or simply to fit in with tricky availability.

Calmbirth®

Calmbirth® is based on an understanding of birth as a normal, natural, healthy process. Calmbirth® explores the physiology and psychology of birth - how the uterus, the birthing body, and the nervous and hormonal communication systems work to facilitate birth safely. In Calmbirth® we learn how beliefs, thoughts and emotions affect birth by influencing aspects of a woman’s physiology, blood flow and hormones.
