If you would like to have an empowered experience in birthing, and gain tools that you can utilise on the big day then this workshop will provide you and your birth support person some practical tips and information that can help you make informed choices in your pregnancy and birthing journey. Having worked with women for over a decade various concerns around intense sensations, fear , uncertainty, can leave women feeling overwhelmed . We will utilise mindfulness techniques (movement, breath, meditation) to work through those thoughts and bodily sensations.
