About Me
My name is Susanna, I am a mom of three amazing children and the proud founder of Indigo Birth & Beyond: a pregnancy, birth and postnatal service for any Expat/English speaking family living in Taiwan and anywhere in the world that wishes a more international, well-rounded and evidence based approach to birth.I have experienced first hand how difficult it can be to find the right support when you are expecting a baby while living in a foreign country, especially if you don’t speak the local language: I am now the person I wish I had by my side while pregnant far away from home!
I am so happy you're here!
I believe that every birth can be a positive birth, being it a drug-free home birth or an elective cesarean! The courses I offer aim to educate and empower you and your birth partner so that you can both feel confident and excited for the birth of your baby!I am excited and honored to offer support in person, in Kaoshiung - Taiwan, and also online, to families looking for a complete birth preparation course paired with Hypnobirthing techniques that is evidence based, fun and empowering!

When is a good time to start the classes?
There are so many negative feelings/ideas/concepts related to birth stored in our subconscious: they come from the movies, the media, all the stories we have heard throughout our life of traumatic, horrific and painful births. These negative imageries and associations must be overwritten, reframed, changed to more positive ones, so the sooner we can start working on this the better!The key to a successful Hypnobirthing course lays in 2 major shifts in your approach to birth:1 - Surrounding yourself with positivity and birth related positivity only.
2 - The dedicated practice of the techniques you will learn so to build effortless, strong and instinctive connections between visualisations & inner calm, strong sensations & tranquillity, breathing & relaxation.
