You will learn that all you need is your body, trust in your instincts and the right care provider to birth the baby the way you desire. You will (re)discover instinctual positions to ease the birth of your baby and how to be the one to catch your own baby with your own hands and/or with the help of your partner. We will achieve this with custom and private meetings throughout your pregnancy, from the time your contract services until your birth and the post-partum period.
