The birth of my son didn’t quite go as planned. Not in a dramatic way – but surprisingly smoothly.

I had prepared thoroughly; taken a HypnoBirthing course, actively involved my partner, and looked forward to giving birth in a birth center...but ended up giving birth at home.

I just got up out of the bathtub and did not want to go back in and was an all fours waiting for the midwives to arrive.

3 midwives arrived of which one was a student and guess what, all of them sat on the floor waiting for me and my body to take the lead. I felt like a queen, supported and realised only later - this was luxury.

Quickly. Calmly. A gift I’ll never forget.

Few mothers ever forget the birth of their child – whether it was beautiful and as hoped, or painful and profound, perhaps even traumatic or epigenetically impactful.

I often wonder:
What if every woman – no matter how her birth unfolds – could feel she had the

right birth at the right time?

And now I know:
Every birthing mother deserves that. A birth that feels right. Held by trust, knowledge, and connection – in her very own way.

Born from Trust

Pregnancy was a big question mark for me & I thought I had rather have a coach for pregnancy and birth than reading lots of books. Important to me was also to have my partner empowered and involved to take on a vital role in the process of the pregnancy and delivery of our baby. Pain management was the topic Sonja helped me with and made me realize that it belongs to life and is an important message for the body for loads of good reasons. I have now ways to cope with it or distract myself from it. By knowing what was going to come I could design ideas of my birth and make informed choices that help me during labour to state a NO for instance when needed, or I could ask more questions if I couldn’t make a decision at that point yet. The breathing techniques I’m still using and also teaching to my children now. The positive effects those tools have in our lives for instance for children when they hurt themselves or when I need a stress relief are priceless. I was also able to use a whole lot of information again for my second birth. I felt Sonja gave the focus of birth having a good memory and experience and one can always be proud oneself. Birth is a beautiful thing, especially when your partner is fully aligned.

Really useful course. I had 2 C-Sections and struggled very much with the thought of having to go through one more C-section when I fell pregnant again - especially with children already at home and then bringing in one more. I endured quite a bit of a trauma with the last birth as I came home and had a toddler already and realized I was not prepared for this and then still being confined in movement after the C-Section. I ended up having my VBAC and am more than happy. Thanks for the techniques which we used as a couple and made us feel on top of the game. The Midwife was impressed and she send the Doctor out as there was clearly no need for it. This waterbirth was the most amazing, encouraging and empowering experience. We are still thinking about the informed decisions piece that we learnt. We will never be simply told, but always stay part of a decision process which is a whole game changer.

Thanks Sonja

I was scared as I knew little about birth and had quite a bit of back pain I needed to accommodate. So learning positions from Sonja and incorporating them in everyday life to relieve back pain was helpful. I felt really comfortable and secure on my birth plan towards our hospital births. The focus the course gave me was learning what I actually wanted, bringing my husband along and have the engagement of him wanting to be my advocate and trusting my intuition are just some benefits of working with Sonja. The learning that emotions influence hormones during labor and birth made me realize, that we always have control over our mind and body and the way we learn to react towards it. The relaxing MP3s helps me still to find my calm when I’m not. Since I was connected with my baby during pregnancy I notice a great connection now as he responds to music I listened to during labor and birth. This makes us all feel really close, thanks Sonja, you made me understand that we can start a conscious connection pre birth and this stays on and only gets deeper.

I was already pretty confident in what I wanted and had it visualized in my thoughts. I had already one amazing birth with my first son, but wished for it to be even better with the second birth. The idea of being even more empowered and having maybe some tools that could be applied additionally led me in taken the course with Sonja. I also had my placenta encapsulated which was a great experience for the first couple of weeks at home with the new baby. The techniques can be used far beyond pregnancy and birth and are still practices when feeling in need of a bit of calm.
