Giving birth is one of the most challenging and rewarding events that you may ever experience in your lifetime.
So, how do you prepare yourself for this life-changing transformation?
YOU HIRE A BIRTH COACH!
​
Having access to so much information on the internet can often leave you feeling overwhelmed and confused about how to best prepare for your upcoming birth. It can also elevate your levels of stress and anxiety.
​
This is where a pregnancy and birth coach comes in!
​
Just as you would hire a professional to help you prepare for a wedding or buy a new house, a birth coach will help you prepare physically, mentally, and emotionally for the pregnancy and childbirth process.
The pregnancy & birth coaching program is designed to help you navigate your way through pregnancy, birth, and postnatal recovery so that you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. You may start the program at anytime and can choose individual sessions, or complete all six sessions so that you feel confident and prepared each step of the way!
So, whether you have just realised that you're expecting or are already in your third trimester, your sessions will be individually tailored to meet your specific needs, goals, and timeline.
