The Wisdom Within

Birth is the most intense journey you will ever embark on…it is meant to be intense! After all, you are bringing a new life into the world!

During The Birth Retreat you will dive deep and discover innovative ways to balance your mind, body and soul so that you, your birthing partner and your baby can work together in perfect harmony.

You already know how to give birth, for it is instinct! Our goal is to empower you to explore your innate birthing wisdom so that you can make your baby’s birthday one filled with laughter, pleasure and tears of the purest joy you have ever known, no matter how things unfold!

Together we will explore…

How to laugh your way to a better birth.

Knowledge is power

We will leave no stone unturned as we explore your birthing options. We guarantee that you will leave our birth retreat comprehensively prepared not only for your baby’s birthday, but for breastfeeding and caring for your infant in the early days as well. You will gain invaluable knowledge that will give you the confidence you need to define your own personal and unique journey.

Your birthing partner

Support is vital during the birth of your baby. Some partners want to be in that tub supporting you in every way possible. Others prefer a less involved role. Defining your expectations and exploring what is right for you as a couple is key for the optimal flow of hormones. Our goal is to help you nourish and enhance the bond that created the miracle of your baby in the first place. 

The 5 basic techniques of Hypnobirthing

Breathing, relaxation, visualization, self-hypnosis and mindfulness. These are the central cornerstones that will accompany you on your path to birthing your way. During our retreat, you will learn how to use and apply them effectively and harmoniously so that peace and bliss are the sentiments present when your baby graces the world with her/his presence.

Fear Release

It is perfectly normal to have concerns surrounding this massively transformational time in your life. The more you prepare for your birth with a positive focus, the more your concerns will fade. We will dive deep and explore these issues and give you the tools you need to release any angst you might have and replace it with some serious badass mama bear confidence!

Balancing your body

Spinning Babies is an approach that aims to optimize the physical relationship between the bodies of the mother and baby for the easing of childbirth. It is a new paradigm that takes clues from the baby’s position and station for natural, physiological solutions. The techniques are gentle, yet highly effective and are useful in any birth setting, childbirth program, or pain management plan.

Where and with whom

Choosing the perfect buggy for your baby is necessary, but momentary. Choosing where and with whom your baby is born are decisions that will affect how things unfold and will last a lifetime. We believe they are the two most important decisions you will make on your journey. We’ll explore the options in your area and help you find the solution that best fits your personal needs.
