Pregnancy Movement classes for Active Childbirth Preparation
Advertisement
These sessions are specifically for pregnant Mumas, we also welcome Dads/partners.
I bring my experience and skills as a mother, birth Doula and music selector to bring you guidance, and good vibrations as we concentrate on relaxation and moves for strengthening your body, using breath, practicing skills to empower your labour.
Including time to connect and share, with a cuppa special womb support tea.
There are many benefits to staying active during pregnancy -
movement /dance- even if you don't think you are a dancer!
The movement I will be sharing can be of great benefit for many reasons:
*Promotes healthy pregnancy
*Strengthens pelvic floor, enhances core strength
*Untwists and relaxes ligaments
*Encourages positive attitude and self image,
*Increases oxygen flow to the baby,
* Assists with grounding, having a calming effect on the nervous system .
*Promotes optimal position of baby.
*Assists women to follow their inner knowledge and natural rhythm in labour
*Dancing /movement is a pain coping mechanism
*Promotes easier labour and birth
*Strengthening the connection between mother and baby so they may do the dance of birth together
What to bring-water bottle, swiss /gym ball (large size)
I have some gym balls women can use.
Pay Cash at the door-$15, or what you can afford.
This is non judgemental-safe space to allow emotions to be alive and expressed. Supported by The Motueka Doula team- Jenni Burt, Joana Schaaf and Vanessa McBride.
The other offering I hold is on Monday mornings-Active Women Movement magic! 11am-12.30pm check out the face book event ! Come join a village like space of women, surrounding mothers and young children with love and support, to move, to strengthen, to release. To honour and support the women hood rites of passages!
