Active Birth is for Mother and Baby



Philosophy of Active Birth: For Baby, For Mom

Active Birth is a birth event where Mother and baby are in harmony and cooperate in childbirth together. It is the birth process after an essential energy of mother’s inherent ability. Based on a freestyle approach under our supervision, you can walk around during contractions or you may position yourself in any form for delivery. A baby comes out quite naturally in Active Birth, and you may feel tremendous achievement and satisfaction after delivery.
