The internet is brimming with information…
Some of it useful, some of it less so. New ‘facts’ and figures come out seemingly every 10 seconds. But some truths have remained the same for the entirety of the 200.000 years that make up human history. One of these truths is that the female body is programmed to give birth. A cascade of your very own home-made hormones let’s your body and your baby know exactly what to do. Truth number two is that this cascade can be either disrupted or supported by what is going on around you and by what is going on inside your head. If you want to find out how to best support your biology doing its thing, before as well as during labour, then you have come to the right place.
Jullie worden uitgenodigd om je te verbinden met elkaar en met het kindje, zodat hij of zij warm en zacht verwelkomt kan worden.
What RVBR is all about
With all the negative messaging surrounding birth – from Hollywood depictions to your cousin’s friend’s sister’s horror story – we would like to suggest a different story. A story of autonomy, a story of being the architect of your own experience and a story of birth without fear – through knowledge. We want you to have a birth that you will look back on and smile.
What you will learn in order to achieve this:
- What it actually is that you want for your birth – especially for the previous generations, birth was something that ‘well, you just kind of have to suffer through – it’ll be horrible but at least you’ll have your baby afterwards’. Luckily, we’re setting the bar for what we want for the life-changing event that is the birth of our children a bit higher these days. We’ll show you what’s possible and how you can plan ahead!
- How to stay in charge – no matter where and how you’re planning to give birth, or what obstacles you might encounter along the way – you know you are the one who has the final say. While professional support during labour is incredibly important and useful – you know yourself and your body best. Learn how to communicate clearly with medical professionals and make sure that decisions are never made for you.
- How to train your brain – to relax, even in situations where your body might go into stress mode – you bring it back to rest through breathing, affirmations, meditation, but most of all: a positive birth mindset.
- How to ‘train’ your birth partner – to be the guardian of your birth bubble. More than anything, what a birthing woman needs is to feel safe. Loud noises, people walking in and out of the room and bright lights are the last things you want to have to deal with while you’re busy with much more important things. Together, we’ll make sure that not just you, but also whoever will support you in labour, knows what it is that you want and how to communicate this to anyone who needs to know.
- Of course, we will also be discussing ways of supporting you physically and mentally!
- How to activate the strength that already resides within you – the age-old knowledge of how to give birth is coded into every woman’s DNA. You will give birth one way or another – why not do it your way? Learn to listen to and trust your body to do what it’s designed to do.
About me:
The reason I became an RBVR birth coach is that I was once in the same situation that you find yourself in right now. Pregnant (for the first time) and with a general idea of what birth is and what I (don’t) want, but in need of more in-depth knowledge of the physiological aspects and wanting to learn about the possibilities to personalize my experience in line with my needs and desires. Just like you I found Relaxed Bevallen vanuit Regie®, and (hopefully like you) I was quickly hooked on the idea of taking charge in my birthing experience and creating an event I will remember forever, in the best way possible.
During the first lesson I quickly realized that I was exactly where I needed to be, I loved every second of it. Only a few weeks after completion and at 41 weeks I gave birth to my first child. I managed to reach a deep state of relaxation, labouring for only a few hours in my dimly lit bedroom and making it to the hospital just in time for my body to birth my daughter without a single push necessary. I was amazed at how it all went down for weeks and months to come (and truthfully, I am still).
I quickly realized that the topic of birth and babies was still very much on my mind. I wanted for more, (ideally all!) women to have the tools to create their own dream birth. So, what better way than becoming an RBVR® coach myself?!
While a relaxed birth is already an awesome start to a baby’s life journey, a great way to continue is to start massaging your baby daily, and as soon as possible. So, after your baby is born, come join me for a Shantala baby massage workshop – with a discount for RBVR alumni!
