I am a few months away from having my third child. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Regina during my first pregnancy many years ago. I've no doubt that her support and teaching were critical aids throughout my first birth experience, and that they helped to end the pattern of (often) unnecessary medical intervention that plagued the women in my family, historically, during childbirth. Regina provided positivity, encouragement and reassurance to me in the natural process of birthing, which is central to the Calmbirth philosophy. I now recognise this grounding as having established the course of my second-and I expect my third- birth experiences. My experience with Regina was priceless.
