Prepare For Birth One-Day Workshop

This six hour workshop is unique in the sense that it provides you and your birth partner with the knowledge of how women want to be supported during labour and childbirth.  The unique tool box that you take away from this day will give your birth partner the confidence to use massage, breathing and coaching techniques in a way which will be supportive to you during labour.  You will also receive unbiased information about the birth process and learn about all the options available to you.  A copy of Kicki’s book The Secrets of Birth: what every woman should know about birth and motherhood is also included.
​
The focus will be on the birth process. As a guideline the topics covered are:

• The Path to Birth and physiological childbirth
• Self-help methods and pain management options
• Relaxations and visualisations
• Massage and breathing techniques
• Hormones and the effect the birth environment has on labour
• The role of the birth partner
• Positions to encourage straightforward labour and birth
• Hospital procedures and communicating with health professionals
• Induction and Augmentation

These workshops will leave you and your partner (if you have one) feeling calmer, more confident in your choices and equipped with solid tools to facilitate a positive birth experience.
