Congratulations on your pregnancy! Such an exciting time in your life. I know it isn’t easy but it is very special, deep and beautiful!

I see birth as not just a physical event but a right of passage. What I mean by that is that it helps tremendously to be well informed and prepared to have a better birth experience, as well as better life quality and health, in the first months of the baby’s arrival and woman’s postpartum time. This is one of the biggest events in life and you will be looking back remembering it. It also affects woman’s health and should not be taking lightly.

My job is to help you and your partner to be prepared not scared for the birth and the time after (!) so it will be as smooth and uplifting, rather than dramatic, as possible.
