A down to earth, straightforward and easily learned course for mothers and their chosen birth partners. Each weekend course is made up of a mixture of theory with audio-visual explanations and interactive discussions with practical relaxation and breathing exercises, such as hands-on massage, deepening techniques and modern up to date birthing videos that are shown in class.

The Birth Course is an independent childbirth antenatal course made up of theory with interactive sessions and practical components preparing you for labour. A collaborative program supporting you to approach your birth with no expectations, beliefs and most importantly no effort. This program offers you a supportive space where we can unpack and pull apart everything you have been told about birth and re-build your foundations on receiving a baby in a simple and practical way.

In class, you will learn how to create a birth plan of birth preferences, which will help you to communicate your birthing boundaries and preferences with your doctor or midwife. 

You are also provided with a handout, which has been specially designed for your caregivers; a summary of how they can assist you with your birthing experience.

Each weekend course is made up of a mixture of theory with audio-visual explanations and interactive discussions with practical relaxation and breathing exercises, such as hands-on massage, deepening techniques and modern up to date birthing videos that are shown in class. 

This course runs over two full days with me this interactive workshop will have you doing breakout sessions, lots of birth talk, the use of acupressure and massage and your very own personalised birth rehearsal on day two.

The Birth Program is structured in a way that the birth partner is encouraged to attend. The partners love and support throughout the pregnancy and during birth, provide valuable reassurance and bonding in preparation for the birth of your baby and parenthood.

Having said this, sometimes there are reasons why the birthing mother needs to attend solo – and this is also completely fine. You never really are alone, because your birth partner can also be your midwife, mother, sister or friend.

Who Is This Course For?

Why Doctors & Midwives Love This Course

Mothers who have great support, tools to use during labour and well informed, confident and prepared are less likely to experience trauma during their birth. If special circumstances arise, parents are prepared and ready to respond. More and more obstetricians and midwives throughout the world are recognising the benefits of independent childbirth education. Many caregivers say it creates less pressure on the system as the birth steps up and take responsibility and allows the midwives to focus on observing the birth and ensuring the mother feels safe and supported and respected.
