GentleBirth Mindfulness
5:28 Mins
It's time to question everything
you've learned about labor and birth
Perception shaped by
fear-driven stories
Fear-based stories shape perceptions of childbirth as an ordeal rather than an empowering process.
Media influence on the
culture of apprehension
Distorted media portrayals of childbirth create a culture of apprehension that impacts real-life experiences.
Transforming the
childbirth narrative
GentleBirth challenges negative childbirth perceptions by promoting empowerment and positivity.
Just like you train your body, you have to train your mind so both work together for the best outcomes.
GentleBirth is your personalized coach
to retrain your mind
for an empowered birth and postpartum.
