Part 2: Take Charge of your Birth

This class will teach you how to use visualisation in preparation for birth to help release worries and fears, but also how to use it during labour for a more comfortable and effective birth.

You will learn tools for yourself and your birth partner that will help you take charge of your birth and have a positive experience no matter the birth path. We know that instances of post natal depression and experiences of trauma are significantly increased when women feel as though birth has happened “to them” rather than them being part of the process, so we will cover the very important topic of coping with the unexpected during labour, asking the right questions and how your partner can support you for an empowered and positive experience.
