Introduction

At Touching Life, we build our philosophy on promoting the emotional and physical well-being of mothers-to-be, their babies, and the whole family.

We offer childbirth classes (prenatal) based on Six basic Birth Practices. Antenatal Workshops handle a variety of subjects to educate mothers-to-be, support them throughout pregnancy, and make sure they are prepared for labor and early parenthood.

The lessons will encourage, support, prepare for delivery, make you feel confident that “you can do it”, and help you through the transition to parenthood. Moreover, they are an opportunity for your partners to receive advice on how they can help you at the time of delivery, by practicing labor positions, breathing techniques, and more. You can also learn practical post-partum tips that will help you enjoy the first weeks at home with your newborn, like bonding, and post-natal care.

~ The group prenatal classes are offered every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, on a weekly basis.

Marta G.

I can highly recommend doing the 6 week pregnancy course preparation with Touching Life. Anastasia uses scientific evidence as the basis for all her classes helping future parents to make much more informed decisions.

Lessons are very well structured and with a clear scope, which help connect future mothers in a more conscious way with their bodies and with partners.
In addition, Anastasia is a very warm person so clases are very pleasant to be followed.

Congratulations Anastasia for putting in place such an inspirational program and for making us aware of all this crucial information that is so helpful throughout the pregnancy!

I followed the prenatal courses given by Anastasia online. My experience was very good. Anastasia was very well prepared using not only slides but also answering questions on the spot, explaining them in action and showing us videos. She seems to really like what she does and she knows the topics deeply. Moreover, during the courses it was clear that she brings experience both from Greece and the Netherlands, which is important for international expats, since she can give a different view. It is important to mention that she was always available to answer questions, even outside and after the end of the courses. Finally, I would really recommended the prenatal courses with Anastasia. It was a great experience!
