No matter how your baby ultimately enters the world,
how you experience birth and how empowered you
​feel throughout the process does matter.

- Annie Reneau

Women have been giving birth for generations. Our bodies and anatomy are designed to nurture, grow and birth our babies, with it's own intelligence - from conception to birth.

​Hormonal changes in pregnancy help ensure our baby's growth and development.

The cervix protects our growing baby by increasing in size and strength. 

The abdominal muscles gently and gradually stretch as the womb expands throughout pregnancy.

The pelvis changes it's shape, how it sits within the body, and the joints and ligaments that support the pelvis relax during pregnancy to make space for your growing baby.

During active labour, the muscles of the uterus contract and expand purposefully, to help your baby move down into the birth canal, whilst the pelvis expands to create space for baby to travel through the birth canal. 

All of these amazing changes and processes occur naturally within our bodies, without us needing to do anything.

This 2 hour introductory workshop will reconnect you with the innate wisdom and physiology of your body and offer you knowledge, practical tools and support that will help your labour and birthing experience be whatever you want it to be.
Suitable to attend with your intended birthing partner, from any point of your pregnancy and recommended from at least 28 weeks of pregnancy. All material will be relevant to both vaginal birth and caesarean birth (both planned and emergency).
