This 3 hour online class presents birth as a rite of passage and delves into how birth partners and birthing persons can support childbirth from that perspective and awareness. This means understanding that birth is an altered state of consciousness, governed largely by our mammalian brain.

Support persons learn to approach birth as the instinctual, intuitive process of biology that it is, discovering how to be mindfully present for their partner, during this time of total transformation. 

​

Birthing persons receive affirmation about their intuition and instincts, connecting to their 'primal birthing' self. Cultivating self trust and accessing ancient body wisdom. Navigating their birth journey, to emerge from pregnancy into motherhood.
