Holistic Childbirth Education: Empowered Pushing and Immediate Postpartum with Kelly and Lisa D

Birthing people are often under prepared for the pushing part of labor, which may contribute to many hours of ineffective pushing, long term pelvic floor damage and weakness, medical interventions or even a cesarean birth. This is due in part to a lack of understanding of and limited preparation for optimal pushing.

In this unique workshop you will learn the essential role of the pelvic floor muscles and how they help rotate the baby and get into birth ready positions. We will find the landmarks of the bony pelvis in ourselves and determine how the pelvis and baby interact during birth and how to make more space for baby. We will discover what the “2nd Stage” of labor is and what happens during pushing and explore strategies to help birth be more easeful and shorter and reduce perineal trauma. We will review breath and practice positions for effective pushing and how best to prepare the pregnant body for pushing and a full postpartum recovery.

Hands-On Learning: Deeply interactive, experiential and hands-on, you will engage in practical exercises and techniques to bolster your confidence and skills.

This workshop is ideal for pregnant people and birth partners as well as single families who are seeking to expand their knowledge of non-medical comfort techniques for labor and birth. Whether you're planning a birth center birth or hospital birth, this workshop will equip you with essential tools to enhance your birthing experience.

Whether an epidural or unmedicated birth is planned; Lisa D and Kelly will leave you feeling confident and prepared
