Learn techniques to support a more comfortable pregnancy and labour including acupressure and massage, Biomechanics & breathing and comfort techniques.

Our Practical Preparation for birth workshop combines an understanding of Biomechanics (for pregnancy and birth), hormone regulation and psychology to help you prepare your mind, body, and birth partner for birth. Your Birth Partner will finish this workshop with a range of practical skills and techniques to aid you in your physical and emotional comfort.
