Hi Regina,

Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful Calm Birth weekend, even my husband who wasn't overly interested when booking got a lot out of the course. While I've always appreciated what womens bodies are capable of, my mindset has shifted from seeing labour and delivery as a period of pain I HAVE to endure in order to meet our baby, to a unique loving experience between baby, Dad and myself that we are fortunate enough to share together. Birth is not a medical emergency, we are not in danger, birth is a beautiful, natural thing. Learning that in this instance, *pain/intensity does not equal injury only progress is comforting, and understanding that during this experience we are safe and the body and uterus is working exactly as it should has eased a lot of anxieties. Learning how to calm ourselves through breathing, the different options we have, and personal decisions we are able to voice has been the most valuable topic we've taken from this course. I feel confident in writing up our birth plan and bringing our son into this world from the knowledge yourself and Calm Birth has provided us. As my delivery date nears I no longer feel the anxiety and fear I did prior, only excitement. We are ready for this. Thank you! ️
