Freebirth Guide

Considering freebirth? Then let's walk together. 

Freebirth prep is about out-of-system physiologic birth. This is radically different from any mainstream childbirth education program.

- Understand sovereignty as it applies to birth, newborn care, and parenting. 

- What ifs that may happen during pregnancy and how you may, not should stay sovereign.
