Our Projects

The mission of the "Miracle in the Heart" project is to promote the natural childbirth in the world (starting off with the Russian-speaking Internet space) and to facilitate the shift to the birth paradigm with the realization and meeting the Basic Needs of MotherBabies in childbirth and early postpartum.

Based on our worldview and the call of our souls, we have chosen the following main goals of our project:

• Promotion of natural birth - at home, in maternity hospitals, birth centres, in water – oceans and seas, in places, chosen by women all over the world (firstly, in Russian-speaking Internet space).
• Uniting specialists in the preparation for conception, support in pregnancy and childbirth (doulas, midwives, psychologists, dance and yoga instructors for pregnant women, swimming trainers for pregnant women and infants, dynamic gymnastics, etc.), postnatal period and activities, necessary for the development of women's energies (handicraft, yoga, creative activity, doll creation, cooking, dendro communication, etc.).
• Giving women an opportunity to access easily the abovementioned practitioners with non-medical approach (many of whom are former accredited doctors) in their country and city in order to receive moral and emotional support, consultation, physical and tactile help (search for such practitioners is the first and unique bilingual search programme  ProEstRo-EXPERT© spanning 5 continents!)

Since the establishment of our project (October 2014) with the sense of joy and inspiration, we have been realizing our goals through the creation of our projects and participation of like-minded people.
