Oxytocin – Modern Childbirth Preparation for Couples: Experiencing Trust, Connection, and Childbirth Mindfully

Modern Childbirth Preparation: We also want to “engage” the fathers, which is why we’ve made a conscious decision to lead the course as a team.

This course combines midwifery knowledge, bodywork, communication, and inner reflection into a holistic preparation for childbirth and parenthood.

Led by two experts—Skadi Steinhoff, a midwife and mother of three, and Alexandre Barbry, a communication coach and father of three—you’ll experience a childbirth preparation program that goes deeper. In addition to in-depth knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, we’ll use practical exercises to help you
• regulate your nervous system
• develop trust in your body
• navigate the birth experience as a connected couple
• build a bond with your child during pregnancy.

Together, we’ll guide you as you consciously shape your own journey through pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.
Birth is more than a medical procedure. It’s a transition into life and parenthood. In that moment, a new relationship begins between mother, father, and child.

The key to this lies within the body: oxytocin. The hormone of birth, bonding, and trust.

When oxytocin can flow freely, it supports
• a balanced nervous system and the birth process
• the bond between parents and child
• a harmonious postpartum period.
In advance, you’ll receive reading material—explained simply and clearly—so that we can dive right into the topics of birth, the postpartum period, and parenthood.
Cost: Covered by health insurance for pregnant women. Partner fee: 195 euros. With a certificate of participation, you can submit the course fees to your health insurance provider and, depending on your plan, may be reimbursed for a portion of the cost.
