“A newborn baby’s wide eyes gaze at the world”

Althoᴜgh Goldie was the third child in this family and she brought many firsts. This was their first home birth, the mother’s first delivery under the іпfɩᴜeпсe of medication, and their first time using Hypnobirthing to promote a peaceful, quiet birth.

Their infant was at home, her eyes open wide. This priceless gift was brought into the world by her mother, Alyssa, with such calmness and strength.
