mobility and nervous system regulation,
we support physiology in a way that the
baby finds the best position in the mother's womb,
while guaranteing comfort during pregnancy
and facilitating labor..

what we DO

BIRTH IN MOTION was created by ANNE SOBOTTA to share and teach Prenatal and Postpartum Somatic practices.

BIRTH IN MOTION establishes a way of thinking and feeling with the body in pregnancy and postpartum. This unique practice opens space for transformative experiences while expanding the horizons of expectations and resources for perinatal care professionals and the pregnant/postpartum women under their care.

Through these connections, BIRTH IN MOTION reaffirms the importance of  autonomy and awareness during the process of a woman’s pregnancy, labor and beyond. Autonomy and personal awareness ultimately results in improved overall perinatal health.

BIRTH IN MOTION offers professional trainings, masterclasses, retreats and classes for all pregnant and postpartum people.

TESTIMONIALS

Dearest Anne, With my love and appreciation for all of your wonderful work. And very great respect. Janet.
Janet BalaskasLondon - UK
The theoretical basis and the way that Anne conducted the training gave us a lot of knowledge while letting us free to find our own style. This was magical and enriching, not a ready-made and rigid formula, but an adaptable and free approach, that respects the transformations of pregnancy. The method adapts to our students instead of them having to fit into the method. All very human, natural and shared.
Student, prenatal somatics teacher training.

The space I chose to fully connect with my baby was Anne's prenatal classes. In those moments when we mixed movement, silence, concentration and nourishing communication, it felt like I was creating a world that was just ours. The classes made the whole gestational process more natural, it made me connect with my beliefs and choices. It supported me and my labor literally started right after a class when I was 41 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

The method adapts to our students instead of them having to fit in the method, which is very important for them during this period.

Today I was touched, once again, to be able to move even with pain. Your classes are wonderful because even with my current limitations, when I take them I can move again.
BeatrizVitória - Brazil
Being connected to my body and aware of my breathing was fundamental during labor. Your work is amazing!
DéboraSão Paulo - Brazil
I'll never forget the first time I practice at one of Anne's retreats. It was the first time I felt life pulsing in me and coming from a pleasant and grateful place. I felt present. Allowing myself to feel the sensations and flow with them in a learning dance, without judgment. This was liberating.
