There are many prenatal courses available to expectant mothers, offering medical knowledge and, above all, practical guidance on caring for the baby. Many new mothers are surprised by how different life is before and after birth. A new chapter begins, and with it a great adventure.

I offer prenatal courses that center on you as a mother and on your relationship with your child. Together we explore the inner world and the changes experienced by an expectant and a new mother, and discover how your baby experiences you.

Course topics include:

hormonal processes before and after birth
the interplay of biological and psychological systems between mother and child
psychological changes after birth
how a child experiences the world emotionally
the stages of a child’s development
the active role of the partner
emotion regulation, calm and relaxation
dispelling common myths
the challenges and surprises of the postpartum period, and how to manage them
communication between you, your baby and your partner
