Birth Time Calm
The inevitable anxieties around birth are best managed with sensible preparation and an open mind. The more relaxed a woman can be, the more her body can connect with its primal functions. Breathing is, of course, our best natural resource to help us stay loose and manage powerful contractions with presence and integrity. Birth Time Calm can help access the process unobtrusively with a gentle diffusion crafted to create a calming atmosphere conducive to focus and clarity. Absolutely safe and pure for mother and baby. Can be used with Maternity Labour Support. We recommend that you practice professionally guided exercise such as prenatal yoga that will prepare the body for the physical impact of labour, create greater body awareness and help the mind to be focused and calm.
