Designed to support women and their birthing partners to feel confident, powerful, and safe through labour with a focus on the positive mind frame with practical skills to support it. My Name is Jarra. I am a registered nurse, a mother, and the founder of “The Jarra Tree”. I made a toolkit like this during my pregnancy and used it throughout my pain medication-free labour. My labour was the most strengthening, self-affirming experience of my life. I hope these tools support you to feel empowered as they did for me.
