Archetypes, Visualizations, and Storytelling in birth preparation
I am also a contributor to the Birthing from Within Blog.
“The [Birth Art] course went beyond my expectations in that I thought I would learn some prompts or exercises to share with clients, what I actually came away with was a deep insight in how to hold space for creative enquiry, how to mentor someone as they move through an inner reflective process, how to drop my ego in my birthwork and how to find the joy in my practice. I’m really grateful for this course & the depth of the teaching provided. I really enjoyed this course & I want to shout out Maeve who just gave so much really valuable insight each session & so much time to individuals whilst maintaining the group, this was so inspiring & how she phrased things each time was just perfect - great learning for me!”
