Film description: Now in 56 countries since its release in 2006, ‘Birth As We Know It’ has received global recognition as the most comprehensive guide to Conscious Birth in the world because it delivers a powerful transmission of what it really takes to give birth consciously and gracefully. It has recently been included in the curriculum of all medical schools and Universities in Iran, and won an award as the “Most Impactful Film” at the Raw Lifestyle Film Festival in Hollywood. It is already on its 5th edition, without any advertising or marketing, just by the word of mouth. It’s a true grassroots movement!

Bio: Film creator and producer Elena Tonetti-Vladimirova was one of the pioneers of the Conscious Birth Movement in Russia since 1982, where she first recognized the need for a transformation in our birthing practices.  “The quality of our formative period defines the quality of our life,” says Elena. “The birth process affects our ability to love, experience happiness and intimacy, as well as whether living in a body is experienced as safe and joyful and or as painful and lonesome”. Elena has brought her wisdom about how to avoid complications at birth through an effective preparation program shown in her film. “The birth itself is the last accord in this fascinating journey of self discovery,” Elena says. “After all the preparation is accomplished, the delivery of the baby unfolds naturally in all its magnificence.”
