Workshop One - Natural pain relief - Hypnosis for birth.
The first of the two workshops focuses exclusively on natural pain management tools and techniques - namely breathing, relaxation and self hypnosis. This workshop can be taken as an individual or as a couple.
The workshop is a full day from 9.30 - 5pm during which you will learn:-
-
Natural ways to reduce pain in child birth
-
Self-hypnosis skills to overcome fear and increase your confidence and trust in your ability to give birth
-
Effective breathing and deep relaxation techniques
-
How fear or anxiety can have a negative impact on your body during the birth and learn how to reduce it
-
Ways your birth partner can help you achieve a deeply relaxed state
This one-day workshop can be taken at any time during your pregnancy and is the perfect complement to NCT / NHS classes, as it covers areas that are not covered or at least, not in great depth, on the majority of these courses.
Workshop Two - Practical birth preparation
The second workshop is a very hands on day to help you and your birth partner prepare both physically, mentally and emotionally for the birth. During the day you will be taken step by step through the birthing process from a physical as well as emotional perspective, learning practical tools and techniques to help you work with your body in the most effective way.
This workshop can be taken as an individual or as a couple, however it is extremely useful for a birth partner to attend as many techniques work best when a birth partner is involved.
The workshop is a full day from 9.30 - 5pm during which you will learn:-
-
Practical techniques to help you stay calm and relaxed during the birth including massage, using a birth ball and birthing positions
-
How your body works best during labour and what you can do to help it
-
Practical tools and techniques for your partner to keep you calm, relaxed and ease discomfort during the birth
-
How your emotions change during the labour and signs to look for
-
Effective ways to work with the medical team supporting you
This one-day workshop can be taken at any time during your pregnancy however most couples prefer to take it closer to the time of birth (from about 32 weeks onwards).
This workshop is a natural complement to the natural pain relief workshop. It also works well with couples attending NCT or NHS classes as it covers elements such as the emotional map of birth and physical techniques that are not covered on most other antenatal courses.
"The best part for me was understanding the emotional aspects of birth (not covered by other courses) the importance of preparation, really grasping how natural childbirth is and giving me the confidence and trust in my body. This course has really helped me! Thank you!' Kate
"The key issues for me that came out of the course were all the ways to provide effective support for my partner, increasing my confidence to deal with the hospital environment and the relaxation techniques. The course was extremely useful. Men need to know this stuff." Chris
