Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum
Supporting women through pregnancy, birth and their sacred postpartum period is incredible and a deep passion of ours.
We have a range of offerings to nourish you through your unique journey.
Birth is an incredible event that we achieve instinctively and intuitively. Women's bodies are designed to conceive, grow, nurture and birth their baby naturally as nature intended.
HypnoBirthing
What is HypnoBirthing?
HypnoBirthing is a wonderfully relaxing and stress-free method of birthing. It is a comprehensive birth preparation program that teaches parents techniques to empower them through their positive birth story.
It involves a mixture of various relaxations, self-hypnosis and visualization techniques to help relax the body before and during labour and birth. You will learn to embrace your body's innate knowledge of birthing.
The idea is that when the body and mind are in a completely relaxed state, birth can happen more gently and smoothly because the body flows with the rhythm of the natural birthing process.
HypnoBirthing can be used in every birth story, no matter where you plan to birth your baby.
HypnoBirthing Program
The HypnoBirthing program assists mothers and their birth companions to create positive birth stories, free of fear, stress and tension. It's a program that considers the psychological, spiritual and physical well-being of babies, mothers and their birth companions. It teaches mothers how to work with their body during birthing and helps the mother prepare for an easier, calm, comfortable, gentle birth and impending motherhood with confidence.
Positive birth experiences are important and will offer life long benefits to mothers and babies. During the HypnoBirthing program, you will learn how to access a deep state of relaxation with a combination of breathing techniques, visualizations, guided relaxations, light touch massage and positive affirmations and other things to add to your birthing toolkit. Your birth space is sacred. HypnoBirthing will assist you in creating the best birth space possible, to birth as nature intended and to give your baby the best start in life.
This course is designed for mothers and birth companions to attend together. Your birth companion is an integral part of our birthing journey. It is recommended that they attend all classes with you.
The course outline is five weekly sessions at 2.5 hours each.

Placenta Encapsulation Services
The placenta is an incredible unique sacred organ that our body grows to nourish our baby within our womb. The placenta has been consumed postpartum in many Eastern cultures for many many years and has been an important part of birthing history. Most mammals consume their placenta post-birth.
Placenta consumption has many benefits such as:
- Increases & helps maintain milk supply. The placenta provides us with human placental lactogen & prolactin hormones to produce breast milk.
- Lessens the risk of postpartum hemorrhage & reduces the length of the lochia phase.
- It provides a natural source of pain relief from the birth.
- Assists the uterus in returning to its pre-pregnancy size.
- Balances hormones.
- Increases energy as it provides vital nutrients and replenishes iron stores that were lost during birthing.
- Helps to speed up postpartum recovery.
There are two ways the placenta can be processed:
1. Raw Method
Some people believe that heating or steaming the placenta destroys some nutrients, therefore prefer the raw method of encapsulation. The raw method of preparation results in nutrient and hormone dense capsules. You will receive a higher yield of capsules using this method as the placenta is not shrunk during heating and therefore will have more capsules available to take for a longer period of time.
2. TCM
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is believed that birthing leaves the mother in a yin and cold state. The placenta is seen as being a yin organ and therefore, when heating, it gains warm yang qualities to tonify and nourish the postpartum mother. This method restores warmth lost during birthing and assists in re balancing the body's post birth yin and yang states. Herbs and spices such as ginger, lemon, chili or black pepper are added to the heating process of the placenta to further assist the body in healing. This method yields less capsules as the placenta shrinks in size during the heating process.
You may choose to use both methods for placenta capsule preparation. Some women choose to do half Raw and half TCM method.
