From Natalie:
“I love to help women to find joy, excitement and confidence in birth”
“It is my highest priority to honour and respect the emotional journey”
(as well as the physical)
“It is my highest hope that:
All women, everywhere – are treated as absolutely PRECIOUS”.
Birth Education with Natalie:
“Hello, my Birth Education comes from twelve years of specialised experience
as a naural-birth educator and supporter.
I teach from my heart – a heart that has been lucky enough to experience birth completely unhindered.
I teach from a place of thorough education and knowledge.
My passion for all humans brings me to deeply care about you and your experience of birth.
My approach supports you physically, emotionally, mentally AND spiritually.
What I do …
“I have worked hard for many years,as a passionate birthie, to build this website as a tool for you. I hope it will help you to realise your wide array of birthing and birth education options – as early in pregnancy as possible.
AND if we end up working together, you’ll be nodding along as the knowledge falls into place – perfectly matching your instincts.
I will then be by your side as your confidence, and passion for birth, grows stronger and stronger!
What about breastfeeding?
Firstly, do everything you can to be educated and informed about the natural physiology of birth and breastfeeding.
After that, you can then make choices that enhance and fit well with your bodies’ natural hormones and systems and your babies natural instincts for feeding, sucking and sleeping.
Personally, I am super glad I persisted with the tough stages of breastfeeding and I was even blessed to experience a five year breastfeeding journey with my last child.
