Since the birth of Maya, more and more people are waking up and choosing nature's way of birthing. One of them is my friend, Cat Juan Ledesma who has had a previous natural vaginal birth in Australia but has chosen to hire a doula and to birth in the water 2nd time around. Read her birth story here.
Cat graciously invited us to conduct the Sacred Pregnancy Conscious Birth workshop in her home in Alabang for the southerners wanting the knowledge and techniques, Irina and I share with a passion. See photos from that day :)
Just before Kelly Misa and husband Carlos birthed their son, they were practising labor techniques using the stability ball!
An inversion taught during the Gentle Birth essentials module which is so good for optimal fetal positioning!
Irina explains more about the concept of WHY your baby's positioning is CRUCIAL to a fast and more comfortable birth.
One of our attendees, Andrea, has had a previous homebirth with our midwife, Deborah Gustafson!
A couple from Bacolod flew all the way to Manila to learn about their birthing journey together <3
Our host, Cat, spoke about on having a sacred space for herself during pregnancy and beyond.
We practiced some hypnobirthing techniques on ourselves and partners to get us into an ideal birthing state.
