Our Birth Workshop is designed for expectant mothers and their partners/birth support persons to attend in the lead up to birth. During this 2 hour workshop you will gain a deeper understanding of the science behind birth – how your brain, hormones and uterus work together during labour. By having an understanding of this you are better able to hack into your body’s natural birthing and pain relieving hormones, such as oxytocin and endorphins – helping to achieve a shorter and less painful birth.
You will also learn and practice a variety of different techniques that you and your partner can use during labour to naturally manage pain and discomfort. You will learn techniques to help baby get into an optimal birthing position and how to best allow gravity to help baby move through the birthing canal. You will learn several relaxation, breathing and visualisation techniques to relax your body and mind, keeping you calm and focused during and in-between contractions.
Skills you and your partner will gain during this workshop:
