module 4:

Physiology fundamentals

Before we can truly serve in birth, we must first understand the wisdom of the body. How it was designed to conceive, carry, and bring forth new life without interference. This module will guide you through the foundations of birth physiology, offering a deeper appreciation for the seamless harmony between hormones, muscles, breath, and instinct.

This section explores:

  • The hormonal blueprint of labor and how oxytocin, endorphins, and adrenaline shape the birth experience.

  • The mechanics of the uterus and pelvis, and how movement and positioning support progress.

  • How the nervous system and environment influence the body’s ability to open and release.

  • The connection between mind, breath, and body ( how presence supports physiology more than any tool or technique).
