BIRTH SKILLS 1-DAY WORKSHOP IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR PARENTS TO PROVIDE AN EFFECTIVE SKILL SET FOR USE DURING LABOUR AND BIRTH.
WE TEACH YOU TO HACK THE MIND-BODY CONNECTION FOR A CALM + CONFIDENT BIRTH … AND GIFT YOU BONUS ONLINE CLASSES.
The Opti-mum Birth Skills workshop offers discussion, interaction and reflection with professional midwives, educators and mindfulness practitioners providing your premium learning experience.
We will support you to thread together key elements to create a positive and rewarding mindful birth journey which means you will be guided from a place of anxiety, fear or simply curiosity, to one where you will be informed, empowered, excited and relaxed. We know that it works! There is insurmountable evidence that shows the positive effect on the mind body connection when practicing mindfulness and we see this with our many Opti-mum graduates.
BIRTH SKILLS IS IDEAL EARLIER IN PREGNANCY
Most childbirth and parent education occurs towards the end of pregnancy. However, we believe that an earlier start is ideal because it offers greater opportunity to integrate the tools during your pregnancy, providing more powerful opportunities for learning. We recommend you attend a Birth Skills workshop approximately halfway through pregnancy.
YOUR 1-DAY BIRTH SKILLS WORKSHOP INCLUDES:
Understanding how your hormonal system can help or hinder labour and birth
What to expect at each stage of labour
How to create the optimal birthing environment
Making mindful decisions so you're in control
Preparing partners and birth companions for their important role in the labour and birthing room.

Introducing you to a range of skills that will help to keep you focused during labour and birth.
Defining 'birthing in awareness' and the importance of this concept in becoming parents
Navigating obstacles
Reducing anxiety/stress, increasing calm and confidence
Focused and non-focused awareness exercises to invite and embrace labour sensations
