FlowBirthing – Born from a wave of joy

"FlowBirthing is not a new 'perfect' birth preparation method. Rather, it is a guide that encourages expectant mothers to be curious and open-hearted about their very own birth adventure. To support this, the author presents a number of tried and tested and healing methods - from singing during pregnancy to yoga, water aerobics, dancing, painting... to classic preparation by a midwife or additional care by a doula. Every woman can find out for herself what best strengthens her well-being and her primal feminine power and prepares her for a joyful birth."  Full article...

"This lovingly designed book for all women who strive for a natural and self-determined birth focuses on the joys of pregnancy and birth. In her book, Ms. Rumpel underpins ancient women's knowledge with the latest scientific findings and thus encourages women to regain their own strength and basic trust."
Claudia Braunstein,NANAYA Vienna- Center for Pregnancy, Birth and Life with Children, Newsletter May 2019

"The scope is just right, the presentation appealing. Every woman should read this book (or a similar one) at the beginning of her pregnancy to encourage the 'emergence of a new (old) birth culture'. Away from routine and birth medicine towards trust in one's own strength, rediscovering inner wisdom. Everyone who works in the field of pregnancy and birth should also have read it."

"The author wants to encourage her readers and strengthen their self-confidence and thus their trust in a positive and gentle birth experience.(...) Flow here describes a state in which, as the name suggests, one is in the flow, in which everything can flow freely and without blockages. The main focus is on the topic of femininity and self-determination, it is about discovering and developing one's own wishes, strengths and abilities, as well as becoming aware of one's own creative power.(...) As a deepening of the book, aCDavailable, which contains meditations, mantras and affirmations. (...) The structure and focus of FlowBirthing is completely different from that ofHypnoBirthing, however, both works complement each other very well, as they understand the topic of pregnancy and birth in a similar way, namely as a completely natural, positive and joyful event, but look at it from different angles. I can warmly recommend both works and wish (us) all a wonderful pregnancy and a gentle birth! :)"

"Author Kristina Marita Rumpel is neither a therapist nor a midwife, she has nothing to do with medicine professionally, and yet she knows what she is writing about. After recovering from cancer, she delved into the topic of "femininity and rebirth" and has delivered a convincing debut work with "FlowBirthing". (...) A beautiful layout with many illustrations makes the book (160 pages) very worth reading."

Vision and guiding principles of FlowBirthing

The vision behind "FlowBirthing" is that women will once again set out on the path to a self-determined and natural birth full of self-confidence and joy, and will experience social appreciation and professional support in the process. Its guiding principles support and connect all approaches, offers and people who work towards a conscious, self-determined, natural birth. As a "departure into a new birth culture", an awareness is created that sees the ability to give birth as a gift and allows birth to be experienced as an elementary and self-determined event. In addition, ways are shown how women can find themselves and experience the birth process as an unexpected source of strength and inspiration that radiates far beyond the birth of the child. Since many people are already involved in the healing process of birth, it is important to bundle these offers and to sharpen the view of the diverse and proven methods surrounding a fulfilling pregnancy and birth.
