Our birth course is an informal, inspiring and empowering approach that enables pregnant women and their birth partners to feel excited about the birth of their baby. We guide you through using gentle breathing, massage and hypnobirthing visualisations as a way of staying relaxed and calm during your birth experience. By taking a detailed look at your birth rights, choices and advocacy we can help you have the confidence to liaise with your care providers to make informed choices that feel right for you and your baby. This course is a wonderful way to prepare for all birth experiences, including C-birth, induction, and natural physiological birth. We recommend attending from 24-35 weeks in pregnancy. Partners/birth partners are encouraged to attend. The course is for all of you.
This midwife-developed course is fully comprehensive and includes:
*taking a look at the mind-body physiology of birth and the power of deep relaxation and the hypnobirthing techniques
*breathing and visualisation exercises (hypnobirthing) to help relieve negative emotions and anxiety and calmly prepare for birth
*birth advocacy - taking a look at your birth rights and choices, and how to prepare your birth preferences
*supportive movements and positions for pregnancy and birth
*massage and acupressure points for birth
*positive birth stories and DVDs
*annually updated handouts fully supported by the latest scientific and midwifery research
Courses are run by Daniela. At KnotStressed Therapies, we have over 15 years experience supporting women and their partners through pregnancy and birth.
We run small courses for up to 5 pregnant women and partners/birth partners. It’s a lovely way to meet other expectant couples. The session is really interactive with lots of chat, film watching and practical relaxation elements. The time flies by!
The full 4-week course costs £210 and includes:
A comprehensive up-to-date folder of handouts, a Positive Birth Stories badge, and a set of Calm Birth Affirmation Cards, a full set of hypnobirthing scripts emailed as MP3 downloads (worth £30), and a £10 discounted pregnancy massage at Knotstressed in Edinburgh.
