Creating a birth story is an incredible way of getting to know oneself and her own wishes. Birth may not always happen exactly how we envision, but by creating a plan and educating yourself on all the potential decisions you may encounter during a birth scenario - vaginal, water, caesearan, etc. You have options. You have a voice. And we will also be able to help translate this birth plan to German as well, so your wishes are understood by your entire care time.

Aromatherapy is the art and science of using naturally extracted aromatic essences (essential oils) from plants to balance and harmonize the body, mind, and spirit every day or during stressful experiences. Labor and delivery can certainly fall into that latter category, and research has shown that some fragrances can have a calming effect during childbirth and even reduce the perception of pain.
