Birth preparation classes 
I am here to empower you

>> I firmly believe in the inherent strength, inner intelligence, and wisdom of the female body. However, I also believe that we must embark on a journey of self-discovery, reconnect with our bodies, and invest in our self-confidence.

​

>> While women's bodies are naturally designed for childbirth, I am of the opinion that we must reclaim our physiology and rediscover the biomechanics of our pelvis-core-pelvic floor system.

​

>> Birth is a profound rite of passage characterized by transcendence, (re)connection, letting go, and trust. It has the potential to empower us on various levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. This is why I consider a well-rounded preparation, which extends beyond just the physical aspects, to be ESSENTIAL.

​

My objective is to provide you with the opportunity to delve deeply into your inner world, immerse yourself in enriching experiences, and introduce you to various techniques to cultivate the necessary tools for embracing the birthing experience with confidence and serenity, regardless of the birth path you choose. My aspiration is to lead you towards a profound connection with your inner wisdom, enabling you to make informed decisions aligned with your needs and desires.

​

Together, let's create a birthing experience that will be cherished for a lifetime.

We will also discuss how to turn off the neocortex (the intelligent brain) and connect to the primal wisdom of the reptilian brain, allowing our innate birthing programming to unfold naturally.

Finally, we will discuss avenues for reflection to initiate mental, emotional and physical work in preparation for childbirth.​​

In this module, we delve into the concept of a birth "plan" and how to craft it with care and thoughfullness. We will thoroughly examine the spectrum of birth options spanning from pre-labor to the initial moments with your newborn, including labor and pushing stages.

We will meticulously evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each option, drawing on current research and evidence-based practices.

I will equip you with practical strategies to foster adaptability and fortitude. These invaluable skills empower you to navigate unforeseen circumstances, fostering a positive birth experience regardless of any deviations from your original expectations.

This module is particularly valuable for expats who may be unsure about what help they need and will receive during their postpartum period.

We will also explore natural options for optimal recovery in immediate postpartum. Through this module, I aim to enlighten you on the reality of postpartum in order to avoid any surprises, but also to give you the means to take care of yourself naturally, at home. 

We will talk about common discomforts that women may experience during the postpartum period and I will give you simple and effective natural remedies that can be implemented at home (managing pain after childbirth to reducing bloating after a cesarean, including the relief of breast engorgement and the soothing of hemorrhoids, etc.). These remedies are designed to complement your allopathic care and offer integrative support to your healing journey, and provide you with the opportunity for a smooth postpartum.  A small booklet with my recipes and remedies will be given to you.

I will guide you through what promotes a good start in breastfeeding and what to avoid. Additionally, I will highlight the crucial role of the co-parent in supporting the breastfeeding mother. You will also receive naturapathic recommendations to support lactation and discover home remedies for common lactation challenges.
