This episode is Nicola’s soul purpose in her life, a personal mission to breathe women in readiness for Pregnancy / Birth and beyond, together we delve into how breathing helps prepare couples to become parents and how to understand the power of breathing as you head towards birth and parenting. This is often a missing link in life, most women are not breathing well and that in itself can cause anxiety. 

Nicola & Shari chat through how they have experienced personally and how they have assisted many couples to breathe more effectively during birth and during pregnancy.  They also share how Breathwork helped them through their own births.
