Pregcare

Pregnancy & childbirth preparation

Well-designed pregnancy programmes can help parents-to-be feel informed, calm and prepared. Ours combine practical education with breathing, posture and relaxation practice.

The programme draws on the traditional Ayurvedic approach of month-by-month pregnancy care (Masanumasik paricharya), offered as wellness education alongside your obstetric care.
