The Nitty Gritty - What's it going to take?
This is a trial. This is NOT antenatal education. This is a deep dive into your ‘being’ and taking agency for yourself and your experience in a supported space to be bold and really enquire.
Be the first cohort to test the waters on the Nitty Gritty - What's it going to take - BIRTH discussion! Are you a willing participant??
I will be running 6 virtual power-sessions (45 mins). This is how it's going to roll:
Week 1 - What's it all about? Intro's and brainstorming to come up with TOTAL=6 birthy things/topics for discussion
Week 2 to 6 - Cover each topic (8 peoples insights/thoughts/doubts/fears/questions)
Virtual reunion once all babies have arrived
Join me for the ride to owning your experience
