Birth preparation
 
I am here to empower you

What I believe in: 

  • The strength, inner intelligence and wisdom of women's bodies, but I also believe that this knowledge needs to be regained

  • A women's body is designed for birth but I also believe that physiology needs to be reclaimed

  • Birth is about transcendence, letting go, surrender and trust. It can be challenging at different levels: physically, emotionnally or mentally. Therefore, I believe that a well-rounded preparation which extends beyond the physical aspects is a MUST.

My mission is to empower you to embrace the transformative experience of birth

with confidence and serenity. 

I am inviting you to a wonderful journey, a path of growth, investment in yourself, commitment and challenge, filled with self-reflexion, emotional release, visualisation, meditation, fascia-releasing exercises with your partner, yoga postures, and much more to transcend your birth and experience a fully thetransformative experience.

 

Let's be honest here, it is not the easiest path. But just like running for an ultra-trail race, people choose the challenge of a transformative birth experience because of the thrill of accomplishment, the joy of the finish line, and the strenght, wisdom and resilience gained along the way.  

Together, let's create a birth story that will be cherished for a lifetime.
