Birth Story of Kyden

Oh my god Ash!

My birth story is a dream come true and I want to thank you and the Calmbirth course for that. I think this will be our last baby but I would love to experience a birth experience like that all over again thanks to your Calmbirth class!!

Although this was our third child, we still took so much information away from the Calmbirth course and I have run into a few mothers (who I don’t know) and highly recommended you on. The course had such a positive impact, which completely changed the way we viewed pregnancy + birth and even the way we experienced our own birth forever.

Birth Story of Elaine

My husband and I did the Calmbirth course with Ash because we wanted to be equipped and knowledgeable going into the birth of our first child. For me, it was about having the confidence and tools to support my body to do what it is biologically designed to do. The end of pregnancy is filled with excitement about the birth of your child but also a lot of apprehension and nervousness. For me, this nervousness mostly stemmed from the fact that birth is unpredictable and things may not always go to plan or plans need to change in the moment.

The Hormones of Labour and Birth

Have you ever wondered why our pets seek out a quiet, dark, and private space to give birth? You might have noticed that your furry friend has chosen to burrow into your favourite dressing gown, prompting you to disturb them to save your cuddly, warm, and well-worn dressing gown from being covered in birthing remnants. Now that you’ve interrupted her, she scurries away. This makes you ponder and compare your birthing wishes with your fur child’s labour and birth process.
