We approach childbirth as a peak transformative time in the life of a woman.
In the quantum paradigm, we appreciate this peak experience and facilitate pregnancy unfolding in a positive and inspiring manner.
We value the skills of nurturing and trust..we value the soul-level connection between caregiver and family...and we under-gird these skills with a thorough understanding of the physiology of pregnancy, embracing the norms and variations.
We will study the following topics:
The A & P of Pregnancy
The Initial Interview
Conception and Fertilization
