Course Content

Everyone expects a course to focus on relaxation and breathing. There's more to it than that!

I'd say the course content is split into 3 even chunks:

• Understanding how to relax (or rather, understanding the impact of fear and tension will have on your labour and birth)
• Understanding labour and birth; what's happening when and why (and what you can do to support your baby and body at each stage)
• Becoming informed about your options, choices and rights in birth (and how to navigate the maternity system with confidence and knowledge.)

Physiological birth courses cover :

• Hypnobirthing - what it is, and isn't (dispelling the myths)
• Your current perception of birth 
• Types of birth and stages of labour - whether that's a spontaneous labour in a pool at home, or an induced labour in hospital. We'll cover them all so you're informed about all possibilities
• Fear and the impact it has on labour and birth
• The all important hormones of birth and how to confidently work with your body, rather than against it
• Understanding birth : what happens when and why
• Pain relief options
• Birth locations : pros and cons of all 
• Making informed decisions before, during and after birth
• Navigating unexpected turns
• The important role of the birth partner
• The optimal birth environment and how you can influence this
• Specific breathing techniques to help you to relax in the lead up to, and during birth
• Powerful visualisation techniques to help you to relax in any birthing scenario 
• Stimulating the production of the body’s natural pain relief
