Gentlebirth is a birth preparation program for women who choose to give birth confidently, free from fear and in control.

Being in a deeply relaxed state often shortens labour. One of the reasons for this is the amazing amount of communication between your mind and your body. When the body flows with the birth process and opens and releases tightness and tension, your entire body works in harmony without tension or anxiety. In many cases, midwives observing a Gentlebirth mum don't realize how quickly the mother is progressing, because she is so relaxed and calm. There is often an element of surprise in the rapid dilation of the cervix, and the short amount of time spent in the pushing phase. Because the mind is instructing the body to relax and open and there are absolutely NO FEARS, TENSION, or NEGATIVE BELIEFS about the labour, the body can work quickly and efficiently
