Dear Jo,

How do you thank someone who has been pivotal in such an empowing and life-changing experience? Well I will sure try because I really want to.

My pregnancy was already progressing as an intensely magical time, especially for me but also for Chris. I hadn't considered the birth to a great extent.

Lina's workshop showed us a glimpse of another way and a beautiful way to labour and birth and then you, Jo, helped us make it happen!

Those months you supported me, me expectations of birth transformed into confidence and trust in my body's ability to labour and birth our baby. More importantly this confidence gave me the spiritual experience of being in the moment, totally present, like a profound meditation, during my wonderful labour.

You had a huge influence on that amazing labour experience. It felt like you intuitively knew what I needed, when I needed it. Massage, encouragement, more massage, helping  with my rhythms, even more massage. I can't thank you enough.

Although it appears our beautiful boy was too big to fit through my pelvis and we had a cesearen, it doesn't change the spiritual experience of finally meeting our darling Rhys. The labour prepared my mind and body for intense love and successful breast feeding.

The home birth attempt empowered Chris and I and prepared us as parents to be strong and courageous.

Thank you Jo. We couldn't have done it without your gentle imparting knowledge.

Love Suzanne, Chris & Rhys xxx
