Are you pregnant again and wondering whether to give VBAC a go or not? Whats involved? Is it safe? Do I have the right support?
The common trend is still to have a caesarean despite solid evidence showing that VBAC is a safe options for most women. The Victorian maternity services performance indicators 09-10 statistics states that 30.3% of women will give VBAC a go and from this 53.5% succeed. So what can you do about the factors that can help you influence a positive outcome for you and your family?
I explore these with you and work with you to feel more confident, inspired, mentally ready and physically fit for trusting your natural birthing ability and navigating your way through.

I have stories that inspire and I have been witness to many women birthing their babies in their own power and seeing their pride and inner strength soar.
