All of these workshops are happening online and in person at the moment
Helping Mums and Dads prepare for birth.
Many men feel unprepared for the important role they are asked to play. By understanding the basic needs of a woman in labour in terms of movement, environment and emotional support, a birth partner can be a form of pain relief.
The role of the birth partner is very important and if he feels confident and prepared you will benefit greatly.
Having a feeling of being together as a couple, as you prepare for birth can bring a feeling of deeper security to a Mum to be, and in our couples session as well as exploring very practical ways he can support you in labour by giving him a basic understanding of what a woman needs in labour, we also explore breathing and relaxing together.
In this workshop I talk about the role of the father in the birth room.
To be emotionally supported in labour is priceless.

I also teach private couples sessions which can be beneficial if you have specific needs or just a busy schedule. This is a two hour workshop and we can find a time that suits you.
As part of a private session I can also help you put together a birth plan. A birth plan is really important and useful although we know that nothing is ever set in stone. A birth plan can help you in your own preparation, but it can also tell the midwife a lot about who you are and your attitude to your birth. This can help them to understand your needs and wishes. This is important as when a women in labour feels heard, she feels supported and she can be more relaxed.
Cost per couples £90
