Welcome aboard the womb for a comprehensive journey through fertility, pregnancy, birth, and post-partum processes.

We will learn how the body changes and adapts through the three trimesters and how to create a safe and comfortable place inside for mother and baby.

We will then go through a full understanding of the birthing and breastfeeding processes to get guidelines and tactile skills to :

- preparing a pregnancy (after surgery, traumatic birth, miscarriage…)

- helping in case of subfertility and during medically assisted procreation

- preventing and healing miscarriage

Courses will be given in English (Graz) or French (Switzerland) with German translation.

The techniques taught during the three classes are only external and not endovaginal.

Open to both women and men.

Emphasis will be placed throughout the course on softness of touch, quality of presence, listening and respect for the client and her tissues.
