A BRAIN-SCIENCE approach to pregnancy and birth.
During pregnancy your brain is already rewiring itself.
You've probably already noticed from the mood swings, cankles and "baby brain" that there are some PHENOMENAL changes happening inside you - and not just your body.
Your brain changes too.
With learning, you can remodel and RETRAIN your brain to "think different".
Thereby changing the pain signals and how your brain interprets them.
Whether your ideal birth is a serene water birth, an effective epidural or a calm cesarean, you want a birth that is a POSITIVE experience.
You need the RIGHT kind of brain training to get there!
Your mind can be trained for CONFIDENCE, PEACE and emotional resilience.
And guess what?
That training can happen while you rest on your couch!

The more fearful you feel, the more difficult labour becomes.
How brain-training can help you have a positive birth

Hi, I'm Marie.
Here’s the brutal truth about birth prep:
Traditional prenatal classes leave women feeling scared of birth.
Having a baby is nerve-racking enough.
So many unknowns!
The last thing you need is to feel more nervous and unsure of your ability to do this.
In most birth classes, you'll spend a lot of time learning about all the things that can go wrong.
Not only does this undermine your trust in your body, it creates fear.
SO WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE?
Why?
Labour is controlled by a complex cocktail of AWESOME HORMONES, like oxytocin (the love hormone) and endorphins (the pain blocking hormones).
Stress, worry and fear change the body's response to labour; blocking those good hormones, tightening the muscles, restricting blood flow, and making labour more painful.
Most typical childbirth classes focus on ways to lessen the pain, with comfort measures like water, doulas and peanut balls, and while those have their place, focusing on them is missing the point.
The pain has already been created.
