Yoga inspired birth positions and breathing techniques have helped so many women cope with the hours of labour; now your partner can also learn how to support you physically and emotionally and play a part in this life changing event.
Taught by Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator and Birth Doula, Carrie Jeff, this workshop combines childbirth education with hypnobirthing principles, yoga and meditation techniques to prepare couples physically and mentally for birth. Feeling safe and supported during labour is vital to how your nervous system responds. The hospital midwife will not be there for every contraction you have. They have other women to support and have paperwork, blood pressure, baby monitoring and other tasks to get through. Your emotional support comes from your own birth partner. Having a partner who understands this, who can help you with breathing techniques for the different stages of labour, offer you massage and give you physical support to get into different labour and birth positions means that you can concentrate, stay grounded and focused and in connection with baby. |

Your job is to dilate and open and a calm birthing environment will help you achieve this. This workshop is aimed at providing you and your support person important information on how to do this, allowing optimal positive hormonal release.
Endorphins are our own reserve of pain killers, designed to help us cope with the power of birth. We discuss how birth partners can help you tap into these powerful hormones. Your birth partner will learn the signs of labour and when the right time is to go to hospital. For many women, a lot of early labour can be done peacefully at home in your own environment. These relaxed, informative workshops are designed to give you and your birth partner an overview of what to expect from labour and how the birthing body works. You will be given the opportunity to build confidence to enhance your birthing experience, in a small and supportive environment. Each birth takes its own course, learn how to trust your body, your baby and the process of birthing. You will learn about the body’s natural coping mechanisms and how the body is able to open easily during a hormone led birth. Most of the natural birthing process is undertaken by the primal brain centres. The female body and brain is designed to give birth with little input from the rational, analytical cortex. |
Studies show that being upright and active in birth leads to a faster, less painful and safe experience for both mother and baby.

breathwork
The breath is a path that will lead to focusing your mind and help you stay grounded - this will be your biggest tool in labour, birth and parenthood.

How do online classes work?
Zoom is video conferencing software that is free for you to use, and is very user friendly. I will set up the meeting and invite you to join. You will be able to stay at home to attend and still be able to ask questions and interact with me and your classmates.

Carrie is a wonderful and nurturing teacher. I wanted to learn how to help my amazing wife get through her first birth without fear or pain and she achieved both. If you want to be educated and give your partner the absolute best possible preparation before birthing, and learn how to actively be involved and be an integral part of welcoming your new son or daughter into the world – sign up!!

Upon my first Yoga class I felt incredible. I felt so uplifted, invigorated and overall amazing. After HypnoBirthing we also felt so much more closer as a couple. I loved the positivity that surrounded it. I love that it not only armed me with information for my birth, but life in general. I know that I need to slow down sometimes and just BREATHE.

I hear every dad say how awesome it is to see bub for the first time and I agree. The second best thing I've ever seen was the love of my life turn into a goddess, a warrior, a picture of focus and strength and to be in control of what was happening! And I was able to help her to do that .

Love all of the classes, can't get enough. Hubby and I have completed the hypnobirthing course & active birth class together and I've enjoyed prenatal yoga, restorative yoga and yoga for birth. Highly recommend Carrie and all of her knowledge.
