PROGRAMS  >  FAMILIES  >  DURING LABOUR

The minutes and hours surrounding birth are some of the most tender and impressionable times for a family. The mother's and baby's bodies are primed with the perfect cocktail of hormones and endorphins so they come to know each other as quickly and intimately as possible on the outside world. If these moments are treated with gentleness, slowness and regard for the rapidly learning system of the baby, families will experience the benefits of this bonding time for the rest of their lives. Tools can be practiced before birth to enhance the post-birth bonding time and if for reasons of emergency, this time is interrupted, it is possible to go back and re-establish connections that were missed.
