What Makes The Positive Birth Hub Unique?
The Positive Birth Hub is built on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation for woman-centered care, ensuring that expecting parents receive holistic, informed, and empowering childbirth education.
With a combined wealth of experience, the founders understand Belgian birth culture, hospital procedures, and the challenges of giving birth away from home. Their goal? To help parents trust their bodies, know their options, and own their birth experience.
Breathe! Signature Prenatal Course
In December 2024, over coffee and croissants, Emily, Jane, and Kate designed a course tailored to the needs of expats in Belgium. The result?
💛 Breathe! Signature Prenatal Course – a 5-session, 16-hour program focused on:
✔️ Understanding birth physiology
