Through a mix of information and hands-on practice, this workshop will help you and your partner -

Birth your baby with confidence

Relieve anxieties

Understand the process of birth in a practical and holistic way

Make informed choices about your birth

Bond with your baby before the birth

Partners will deepen their understanding of how to support you and you’ll discover how can work together towards a fulfilling birth experience.
