"Anna is absolutely right, breathing
is essential. Without proper breathing techniques I would not have delivered
Louisa at home. All the way through was what I learnt at the yoga course
and at the birth preparation workshop with Anna ... It is really the
combination of what I learnt with you Anna during all these weeks and
being with great people during the labour that I could make this fabulous
journey to give birth to my little one."
These workshops are recommended for all pregnant women. For pregnant
women with/without their birthing partners, these workshops aim to help
you feel positive about labour and approach your baby's birth with confidence
and calmness, whatever your situation.
Being able to relax is essential in pregnancy and labour as it helps
you to keep calm and focused and to preserve your energy levels. We
discuss how relaxation can help during pregnancy and labour in details
and practice relaxation techniques.
Being able to breathe deeply and fluidly is very valuable during labour
as it is a highly effective and natural form of pain relief. We explore
further the benefits of breathing well during labour and practise breathing
techniques.
We look at labour positions and movement in the stages of labour and
how this can help to make your baby's journey into the world eaier and
more comfortable for you and your baby.
Going through labour together is a transforming experience for both
parents. Seeing your baby for the first time is a treasured moment,
never to be forgotten. These workshops provide a calm and positive space
for you to focus on your changing roles and life together as new parents.
Birthing partners have a very important and valuable role during
pregnancy and labour - we look at the practical and emotional support
that partners can provide.
The time leading up to your baby's birth is very exciting. We look at
how you can prepare in the weeks beforehand (birth plan, optimum foetal
position, massage) so that, by the end of the workshop, you have a range
of natural skills to help your baby's arrival to be as comfortable,
calm and positive as possible. There will be refreshments and the opportunity
to chat with other parents to be.
Anna has first hand experience of a natural water birth at home for
the birth of her first daughter and a natural home birth for her second
daughter. She used all the natural skills and techniques that she teaches
in her workshops to have very calm, positive and empowering labours.
The cost is £30 per couple. You are welcome to attend without a partner, which costs £15 per person.
