AQUAGENESIS' Natural Pregnancy and Birth Preparation Programme was developed to support life in water prior to conception, during pregnancy and birth as well as neonatal care all the way to early childhood from a baby's perspective. Water creates a natural fluid continuum emotionally and developmentally from babies' point of view as well as for their parents, strengthening their bond and connection as a family unit from the very beginning of life in the womb. SUPPORTING LIFE WITH WATER is also a training programme for birth and aquatic professionals that wish to support pregnancy and birth with water responsibly and with a deeper awareness and understanding of our prebirth experiences. For future parents, support can be offered online or in person from the moment you dream of having a baby and for professionals, training takes place online and in person.

Why is it important to surround yourself with natural beauty during pregnancy? Natural beauty raises our frequency and sense of wellbeing naturally, which helps us and our baby feel good about the world we live in. The crystalline structure of our eyes' retinas receives and transmits light information. What you look at, witness and pay attention to during pregnancy impacts the way your baby interprets the world around her and prepares her for the world she is arriving into.

Birth Journey Affirmations for your unborn child, for your own inner baby as well any human being. We've all been born. By remembering my own birth journey as an adult, these are some of the messages I would have wanted my parents and the world to know about me at the time. I was born on the 21st of December so I imagine these messages being used as affirmations one for each day of the advent calendar. I hope you and your baby enjoy them! I am able to support your baby from the moment you conceived of having her, during her entire birth journey as well as the first months of life in her new little body. I see myself as a companion for babies as they transition from spirit into form, while being an advocate for their birth journey from their perspective.
