You hear of people talking about doing the 'inner work' in pregnancy to achieve the birth of their dreams. But what does that really mean?

I work with women, and their partners, to explore what they need to do to prepare for birth. Combining over a decade of birth work and weaving a range of modalities including Hypnobirthing, childbirth education, pre-natal yoga, birth story listening, Human Design and Shamanic Womancraft we connect via zoom for 5 x 90min sessions where we will deep dive into your life, your experience and your birth.

This is an opportunity to go DEEP! I'll share with you a wealth of information and resources, but together we will also ask the big questions and you will have an opportunity to explore all of your previous experiences (rites of passage), and how they have led you here, how they might affect your birth and what you can do to support yourself to lean into the things that have really worked for you in the past, and let go of anything that you think won't serve you.

You will be given resources, support and tasks to work with between sessions to really explore these big questions in depth and detail and during the calls we will:

- explore mindset and how it affects birth
- cover an understanding of birth physiology and the physical process you will go through (including the hormones of labour and how to optimise them)
- family of origin tracing
- explore your previous life experiences (rites of passage) and how they have provided a set up for your birth experience - exploring patterns, strengths, values and anything you may wish to let go of
- explore your fears, and your partner's fears - address them & look for ways to let them go
- support you to develop and write you vision for your birth and your birth plan

My support over the course of your pregnancy is across the 5 calls, call preparation, resource gathering & sharing and support via email and phone for yourself and your partner.

You can include an optional birth debrief session after the birth too, if you feel called.

I can't wait to walk beside you!

Prepare for your birth...

The virtual birth preparation series is a fantastic way to prepare for your birth. 

The inner work is immensely important when it comes to birth preparation and typically, whatever you don't work on in your pregnancy (or prior to it), will tend to come up for you at some point and in some way during your birth. 

Of course you want to know the details - birth physiology, supporting hormones of labour, what your birth partner can do. But we are going to go deeper than that!

In working with me for birth prep using these sessions, you could identify what boundaries you may want to hold, what you need to work on ahead of the birth, and how you might want to make decisions about aspects of your birth such as who is there, where you are, your relationship with 'pain', what your previous rites of passage have taught you that you can take forward (or let go of) as you step into the birth portal.
