'Labour of Love' Birth Preparation and Natural Active Birth Classes


“Your classes and advice were invaluable, I could not had done so well without all the breathing and focusing techniques and advice so thank you so much”. (Abi)

“I would tell anyone who’s pregnant to do all your classes” (Nicola)


Having a baby is one of the most important transitions in your life.

These nurturing and empowering classes will help you:

Birth your baby with confidence

Relieve anxieties

Understand the process of birth in a practical and holistic way

Bond with your baby before the birth

Prepare in body and mind for a fulfilling experience of pregnancy, birth and early parenting.

Covering many areas often not included in other childbirth classes, these sessions are ideal whether you are considering home or hospital birth, natural childbirth or wanting to keep your options open.


What we cover:

* Gentle yoga based exercises for pregnancy (no previous yoga experience needed)

* Relaxation and breathing

* Pain coping practices for labour

* Guidance on pregnancy, birth and beyond: Optimal foetal positioning; positions for labour and birth; what may happen during labour and birth; the role of birth hormones; breastfeeding and much more
