BIRTH MOON

A Conscious Getaway for Birth, Partnership & Trust

Birth Moon is a mental birth preparation retreat for couples who wish to consciously take time for each other before the arrival of their baby – as partners and as a team. This weekend creates space to arrive, connect, and internally align with the transition into parenthood.

At the heart of the retreat is the individual birth experience. In thoughtfully designed sessions, Anna and Cynthia combine holistic birth preparation with mental training, hypnobirthing, and physical and emotional approaches. Theory and practice intertwine to strengthen trust – in your own body, in your shared path, and in the birth process itself.

Retreat Leaders: Anna & Cynthia

Anna and Cynthia combine professional expertise, experience, and a shared philosophy: birth as a conscious transition that requires trust, inner preparation, and connection. Their approach merges mental awareness with body-oriented practice and creates spaces for exchange, reflection, and authentic self-connection.

Anna Witt is an educational scientist, certified hypnobirthing instructor, and body-oriented companion for pregnancy and postpartum. With great sensitivity, she supports women through different life phases. She is a mother of two and lives in Salzburg. www.erdenkind.at 

Cynthia Kop is a certified mental coach, hypnobirthing instructor, doula and certified pre- and postnatal yoga teacher. She combines mental training with body awareness, strengthening self-efficacy, intuition, and inner clarity.
