Welcome! Today I am interviewing Sandra van der Hooft. Sandra is a pregnancy teacher and maternity nurse, from the Netherlands. In the past 10 years she has noticed a big change in Birth Care. Women are getting more and more insecure and fear has also increased about Natural Birth. She thinks more professionals should see birth as a natural process instead of turning it into a medical process. If you want to know more about her work here is her link www.sandravanderhooft.com

I have over 15 years of experience in meditation and classical yoga practices that i have adapted to pregnancy and have taught these techniques to hundreds of women worldwide.

In this episode I am going to invite you to bond deeper with your baby with this guided meditation. Don’t forget that building a connection with your baby inside is also about building a deeper connection with yourself.

In this episode I am going to invite you to relax with your baby. So choose a place where you will not be disturbed, you will not feel cold, put up a warm light and just enjoy this moment.
