Title: Birth Preparations-Couples Workshop
This one day workshop provides both a physical and emotional preparation to help couples approach labour and birth with confidence. The focus is towards facilitating an active birth and helping women to gain trust in working with their bodies and in helping birth partners gain a greater understanding of how to support the birthing woman. The workshop provides you with information and resources to help make informed choices to have the birth experience that is right for you.

Workshop includes:
  • Normal physiology of labour and birth
  • The Role of the Birth Partner
  • Breathing, relaxation, massage, movements for labour
  • Discover positions to help yourself and baby during labour and birth
  • Practice effective coping skills
  • Comfort measures for labour and birth
The workshop is designed to complement NHS classes and is recommended for first time parents but is also excellent as a refresher course for parents expecting a second or subsequent baby.

This workshop is very powerful in demonstrating how the presence and support of a birth partner helps create a fulfilling birth experience. My hope is that each couple will leave this workshop with a greater element of trust in themselves and the process of birth.

The Workshop costs £95 per Couple. A Non Refundable Deposit of £50 is required when booking. The balance payable on the commencement of the workshop. To check availability and for booking please email:birthconnections@ntlworld.com
