Our Birth Plans and Pain Relief session includes:
You’ll learn why birth planning matters, how to advocate for your needs, and how preparation creates calm, confidence, and flexibility during labour.
Comfort & Coping Techniques
Experience a wide range of hands-on coping tools so you can discover what works best for you, including:
Massage, counterpressure, birth combs, yuula balls, and TENS
Breathing techniques, grounding, and distraction tools
Positioning for labour and birth using visuals
Sensory comfort using smell, touch, water, and movement
Mindset & Preparation
We explore affirmations, visualisation, and guided meditation to help build a calm, confident birth mindset. You’ll also learn how to spot these techniques in real births through positive birth video examples.
Pain Relief as a Continuum
Rather than ruling options out, we explore pain relief as a continuum—looking at natural and medical choices, their pros and cons, and how to prioritise your preferences with confidence.
Understanding Birth & Creating Your Plan
You’ll gain a clear understanding of the stages of birth then bring everything together by writing your own personalised birth plan.
Our Birth Partner Prep session includes:
By the end of the session, birth partners will know exactly how to show up—calm, informed, and ready to support every step of the way.
