“It is eternally valuable to have someone in your life that you can trust to be there for you. Uschi is an absolute blessing to this world with her gifts of knowledge, compassion and experience.”
— Bonnie Schaab, Christchurch

Sessions are held online and/or via phone, or if you live in Dunedin, in person. Start any time that suits you.

Kind Living offers holistic and individualised coaching/mentoring programs for women in preparation for birth and parenting - the phase of life also known as matrescence.

This program is all about you. You will learn how to treat yourself with so much love and understanding that you can’t help but feel good about yourself and the journey ahead.

Having a baby is likely to be the most remarkable and awe inspiring event in your life. It can bring out the best in you and also intensify feelings of self-doubt, fear, insecurity and worry.

That’s why I have created S.A.C.R.E.D.

S.A.C.R.E.D offers a safe space for you to explore your dreams, fears and hopes about pregnancy, birth and parenting, and everything else related to and impacted by your choices, such as family and friends, romantic partner, health, career, spirituality, finances etc.

S.A.C.R.E.D incorporates holistic coaching & mentoring, mindfulness, yoga, breath work and natural birth education, all depending on your needs and wishes.

S.A.C.R.E.D can be tailored to your specific needs to prepare you physically, emotionally and spiritually for the journey ahead.

There is so much value in having someone you can trust at your side and whose job it is to be solely there for you, someone who can guide you in specifics while keeping sight of the bigger picture; someone skilled, knowledgeable, and non-judgmental.

If this sounds like something you would want for yourself, then book your free Personal Journey call to establish if S.A.C.R.E.D matches your needs.

“For me the most important benefit is meeting Uschi and talking to her, the way she sees pregnancy and childbirth contributed to my confidence and positive way of seeing the future way more than any books, articles or videos I’ve watched, and any other people I talked to.”
— Tina, Christchurch, NZ

* I am offering S.A.C.R.E.D. as a self-growth program for women in preparation for birth and motherhood as each woman and each pregnancy is unique and initiates new changes in body mind and heart. I wholeheartedly acknowledge the importance of the role of the father or the woman’s significant other on this journey. It is not my intention to exclude fathers or female partners from this process or give the impression that they don’t matter. However, a woman’s inner journey can only be discovered and transformed by her alone. I hope to offer a similar program in the near future that is more couple focused while also allowing for individual processing and transformation.
