What if, while waiting for birth, you felt amazing?

Often, from the stories we hear or from our own previous birth experiences, it feels like we can never control the outcomes of a birth. It can feel like we should just go with the flow, follow the guidance and influences of our care providers or the people around us.

But there is another way.

Birth most definitely takes its own path. And it’s true that at times the outcome can be an unwelcome one. But I know that in cases like this - where birth takes a turn you didn't expect or want - it is still entirely possible to feel okay, even confident. Feeling heard, understanding information, taking action (or not) in your own time when possible – these things can alter the way that you ultimately feel about your whole birth experience, for the better.

When you gain knowledge about your body and birth, when you delve deep within yourself, and when you uncover a clarity about how you make decisions - all this self-discovery can ultimately lead to a birth that feels so much more aligned to you. A birth that honours what is important to you.

And these feelings that I see emerge, as women and their families step into a space that is so different than where they started?

This is a magnificent sight to behold.

The woman poised - ready, willing, open and calm – waiting for her birth to begin.
Can you imagine it? Do you want it?

If you do, now is the time, take the first step, you won’t be disappointed where it takes you.
