Recorded live in Shanghai on the 22nd of May 2021.

Kurt Tropiano, coach and breathwork facilitator, shares his story about what it was like to be his wife Natasha’s primary birth partner for an unmedicated birth through a 3 day labour amidst the pandemic. We cover how he held space for her during challenging moments of their long labour, how it felt to bring his daughter Orelia into the world and witnessing his wife’s transformation from maiden to mother.
