Childbirth preparation workshops

Dear mamas and birthing partners,
We are three birth workers (doulas, kraamzorg) inspired to empower mamas to birth their children the way that feels right to them.
Our workshop is designed to empower you as you prepare for childbirth, to grow your sense of confidence in yourself, your instincts and your connection to baby, to invite you to identify your precise needs and ask for the support you want. We start in the body, exploring our instincts and power through breathing exercises, movement and touch. We do some exercises in listening to our bodies and recognising the signals we receive when we go against what we know is right for us. Birthing partners are encouraged to practice supportive presence, massage and breathing. We use arts-based and NVC-inspired techniques to support you in beginning to formulate a 'birth plan' and invite you to plan also for your postpartum period. We give space for your personal and practical questions and send you home with leads as to where you can find any further information you feel you need. Nutritious soup, tea and snacks are provided.
