Preparing for birth and your baby.
Antenatal Workshops
All my antenatal workshops are covered if you’ve signed up to a birth and/or postpartum package - and it’s all used alongside my Hypnobirthing classes - but all can be accessed separately as part of an Antenatal Only Package.
What’s covered? A lot!
A tiny example is as follows; but for a full workshop list, contact me directly.
birth physiology, birth positions and birthing spaces
coaching you through any limiting beliefs around birth
optimal positioning of baby
your birth and postpartum plans
breastfeeding confidence
how to embrace the fourth trimester
newborn needs - swaddles, carrying, winding positions…
I work with visual aids that I (or others) have made, and this makes learning a lot of fun!
For example: a knitted womb (from Tina Gibbs), weighted cloth babies - named Rice and Lentil - made by me, a weighted cloth placenta and umbilical cord - made by me, beaded birth lines - made by me, crocheted boobs - made by my sister in Sweden, a crocheted poo nappy - made by my sister in Sweden, a pelvis - a medical one, swaddles, washable nappies and wraps - all from my own children’s baby days.
*I challenge you not to fall in love with the cloth babies - (30 weeks gestation) - they get a lot of attention!
Being the best doula for you means that you go into birthing with no fear and all the knowledge and evidence-based information so that you and your partner can make clear, informed choices at every step of the way.
