About the event
A midwinter screening at Gizzy Local HQ
Sachiko Fukumoto, Kimi Werner, Rava Ray and Ioana Turia all feel a deep connection to the ocean, and this played a big role in their pregnancy and birthing choices.
These mothers all searched for a way to give birth that felt intuitive and safe for them.
In Pacific Mother, we see that when women are supported emotionally, physically and culturally, they are more likely to have a positive birth experience, whether it's in hospital or at home, on land or in the water
