• Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC)

We are delighted to be able to have the opportunity to talk to Anna aka supermum,

Anna shares with us a raw and real conversation about her latest birth of her 5th baby girl, we also discuss her previous pregnancies and how she created the birth that his healed and completed her birthing journey.

Please note this conversation was recorded in Annas kitchen and therefore the audio isn’t studio quality as usual, we love meeting mothers in real circumstances and life.

It was after this her passion grew strong to help women, support women in all capacities from birth, to death, in all the life loops. One very noticeable link in all of her work was the Breath and how so many people where unable to take a simple deep breath.

We discuss Nicola's own pregnancies, miscarriage, births and how she arrived into breath coaching.
