And finally, to be ready and being well prepared for the coming of your new bundle of joy, Chiqui Brosas, an experienced childbirth educator and doula since the 1990’s and a breastfeeding advocate since 1997, shared ways on how you can face the pain and be confident in the day of labor and some relaxation techniques and exercises through a Lamaze session. Chiqui is known as the guro when it comes to natural childbirth because of her calmness and ability to control during labor and until birth.

Capping off the series of talks, a pre-natal yoga was conducted by Tanya Dela Cruz, one of the founding members of OneLife Studio, offering yoga and Pilate’s classes.
