Birth Education and Preparation

They say knowledge is power and this is certainly true when it comes to pregnancy preparation and birth education.  These sessions support you to become aware of your options, enhance your natural gifts and skills and expand your confidence in birthing.

Empowering You - Developing Inner Guidance ~ 1.5 hrs ~ $120
Explore ways to feel more empowered, learn simple tools to access and develop your own wisdom during your pregnancy and birth. Together we look at ‘outer guidance’ - information about our bodies, birth options and the birth process, where this information comes from and how it influences our choices. ‘Inner guidance’ involves trusting our intuition and learning techniques that can enhance this vital process. Harmonious preparation is the balance of these two.  With a qualified Childbirth Educator you will focus on your birth vision and enjoy visualisations to develop more connection with your baby and more trust in your own guidance.

Preparing for a Positive VBAC Experience ~ 1.5 hrs ~ $120                                      
An opportunity to heal past birth experiences and feel more empowered to move on as you prepare for the birth of your next baby. Our Childbirth Educator will support you in the most appropriate choices for a vaginal birth after caesarian (VBAC) – assisting you to create a Birth Plan which identifies your personal needs for a safe and positive birth experience. Women birthing vaginally report easier bonding with their baby and greater birth satisfaction afterwards.  Together you will explore the myth “Once a caesarian, always a caesarian” and gain greater understanding of the role of medical intervention during the birthing process.  You will leave with more clarity and confidence for your coming birth.
