When you prepare for birth as a team something truly magnificent can occur.
Listening to Jonni Pollard and wife Carla di Mattina's tell the birth story of daughter Saffira Devi is to bear witness to this.
As the couple tell Nadine in this episode of the She Births Show podcast, Saffira Devi was born in July in New York City following months of intensive and deliberate birth preparations that impacted both Jonni and Carla in an unprecedented way.
It was a journey they began, travelled and ended as a joyous and loving team.
"If you and your partner have a solid understanding of each other's needs before the birth then you are in good stead FOR the birth, says Carla. "Because during that time when it was hard, Jonni could give me just one look, and I knew I could do it."
