We have developed this App in the hopes that it will assist women in having the best possible natural birthing experience. Studies show that a positive birth experience reduces the incidence of postnatal depression, anxiety and negative physiological after effects.
A positive birthing experience by definition is very different from one woman to another. Each individual woman will have specific desires and needs with regards to her own birthing experience, however it stands to show that if a woman is well prepared both physiologically and psychologically she will experience a much more positive birthing whether at home or in a hospital..

We assist women and their partners using a variety of tools such as acupuncture /acupressure, guided meditation and breathing exercises.
