Birth preparation Course

Birth is not just one day of your life. How you prepare and what you experience in your birth will have an impact on how you feel when you enter motherhood. To prepare for the rite of passage that birth is it often takes a great deal of unlearning, unlearning the layers of mistrust and fear our female bodies has been treated with for centuries.

Our in depth birth preparation will give you the knowledge you need to make informed decisions, both during pregnancy, birth and beyond. Our course is suitable for all types of birth, whether you are preparing to give birth at home or at the hospital. 

Our aim is to make you feel prepared and informed when going into this intense , transformative and beautiful experience. In this way you will be able to navigate through birth, while making conscious decisions and feel safe and supported in your wishes. Together we will sit, talk and learn about birth and how it works both on a physiological and psychological level. We will breathe, move, journal and learn about different techniques that can be used during birth.

We believe in the inherent wisdom of the female body - that you already know how to be pregnant, give birth and mother your baby. 

You will be a part of a small supportive group and meet women who, just like you, are on a transformative journey towards motherhood. It will be a space for you to share your thoughts and feelings, and you will experience the power of being in a community where you are being held by other women.

Listening to and trusting your inner voice and intuition is your strongest tool during labor and birth and we are here to support you in the power you already possess. 

No woman, pregnancy, birth or baby are the same. We are here for you no matter what kind of birth you are preparing for.

In this course you will learn about:

  • The Herstory of childbirth

  • Patterns & Birth Stories - your own, your partners

  • How the nervous system works

  • Birth physiology

  • Rebozo & Acupressure for your birth support

  • Responsibility & Bodily Autonomy

  • Offerings and interventions in the system

  • Making informed choices

  • Language (how to use your voice)

  • The postpartum time, breastfeeding & creating community

You’ll receive a comprehensive and informative workbook with additional information and get access to a full reference list and a list of recommendations for support in pregnancy, birth and motherhood. Your birth partner is invited to join us on the 3rd and 4th date.*

*your birth partner is the person you choose to be your support in birth. This can be a friend, doula/birth keeper, a co-parent or anyone you trust in your birth space.
