This Pregnancy Circle is open to those currently pregnant and looking to honour themselves their babies in knowledge, body, breath, strength, nurturing, connection, sharing, and support.
This is an environment where you can tune-in to your baby and the journey that is unfolding and make conscious decisions about the directions you take.
Often held by Jo Askham (Childbirth Educator, Doula & permanent student of birth) in a gentle organic way based on the teachings or Rhea Dempsey, Birthwork, Spinning Babies and more. I will endeavour to address any concerns, feelings and questions that are brought into the class and circle with options, honesty and compassion. We also occasionally invite in some special guests.
Should I be at a birth or on placement, the circle will remain open for attendees to gather and share.

During my pregnancy, a lot of personal issues came up. the circle was helpful to be able to share and wrap words around what I was feeling. It helped me understand what was fear-based and what I needed to focus on. The circle empowered the rite of passage into motherhood for me. I am so grateful to have been a part of it..." ~ Emma
