In this episode I discuss with trained midwife and founder of the GentleBirth app,  Tracy Donegan:

• The goal behind starting GentleBirth and the gap it filled
• Reasons why meditation and mindfulness are helpful in preparing for birth
• How the app may be used throughout pregnancy, birth and throughout motherhood

NOTE: 3 bonus episodes (meditations) will be released with this episode 

The GentleBirth Positive Birth app combines mindfulness, hypnosis, breathing techniques, affirmations, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help expectant moms feel calm, confident and prepared for birth. Unlike traditional childbirth classes, GentleBirth is brain training for birth - teaching moms (and partners) how to manage stress, reduce fear, and build resilience through daily guided practices. Content is included for partners also (male or female).

With personalized meditations for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, the app is inclusive of all birth experiences - whether unmedicated, epidural, cesarean or VBAC.  By training the mind and body parents are building the skills of emotion regulation and resilience during one of the most challenging times of adult life.

Tracy's GentleBirth book is available inside the app or parents can purchase a hard copy at
