Nurturing Birth (couples) Workshop
@ the Nurture Pod, Nurture Staffordshire.
Taught over 2 three hour sessions, taking place during weekends.
£75.00 per couple (mum-to-be plus birth partner)
This Nurtring Birth Workshop will leave you feeling confident, well informed and prepared for your baby’s birth. The Active Birth Principles are recommended by midwives, doulas and hundreds of parents, sessions are inspirational as well as highly practical. The workshops are led by Victoria Clowes, who is a very experienced Holistic Therapist, Baby Massage instructor and also a birth and post natal doula.
Our first aim is to give you
all the resources you need to help you make informed choices for
your baby's birth. With plenty of practice of labour and birth
positions, breathing, relaxation, massage and guidance for the
partner. These workshops teach birth physiology in an experiential
way that you will not find elsewhere. You will develop
understanding of how to access and awaken your instincts and innate
reflexes for giving birth. This in turn will have a profound
influence on your mind – creating a positive mindset and a feeling
of confidence and trust in what your body can do, with a deeper
sense of the way your body, your baby, your uterus and pelvis are
magnificently designed for birthing. This is hugely
empowering.
We want to help you to enjoy a calm, joyful and safe birth in any circumstances. Many courses focus too much on complications and hospital procedures or place an unrealistic emphasis on natural birth. These worshops strike the balance, empowering you to first trust your body and reduce the likelihood of intervention, and to be informed and open-minded. If plans need to change, you will be ready to work with your midwifery and medical support team and make wise decisions and apply Active Birth Principles in combination with medical support.
Dads-to-be and Birth Partners
The partner is usually the main support at birth, with little or no training and is usually completely unprepared, this can be very daunting.
These workshops will give your birth partner a new confidence in trusting what is right for both mother and baby. Your partner will leave feeling more empowered and relaxed to help you on your baby's birth-day. Lots of hands on and practical experience that is taught in a non-threatening approach with lots of opportuntiy for discussion and questions.
