GentleBirth Course Information

The course is for small groups of up to 6 couples, a couple usually being the mum-to-be and her birthing partner. This is usually the dad to be but sometimes this is not possible so it can be someone else – mum, a sister or friend.

What you will learn on a GentleBirth course:

• Everything you need to know to achieve a safer, easier and more comfortable birth for you and your baby
• How the muscles of the body are actually designed to make childbirth an easy and natural event
• How relaxation and self hypnosis can take you comfortably through each stage of labour
• Why women in other cultures give birth so easily
• Body positions, breathing and massage techniques, for a more comfortable labour
• The source of the myth that pain must accompany a normal birth
• Simple but effective massage techniques
• How diet can help you through pregnancy and achieve an easier birth
• How your thoughts about birth can influence the type of birth you have
• Hypnotherapy skills to build confidence so you and your partner can look forward to the birth
• How to keep your baby safe during birth
• Natural ways to bring your body into labour without artificial chemical induction
• Everything you need to know to achieve a safer, easier and more comfortable birth
