Birth Without Fear:

Birth Preparation Classes for Mums and Dads

*PLEASE CONTACT FOR NEXT CLASS*

These classes draw on the best of Hypno-birthing, Birthing From Within and Emily’s years of experience supporting mothers and fathers in labour and birth.

At the end of the class you can expect to feel less anxious and more excited about your upcoming labour. You will have the mindset, the skills and the tools that will greatly decrease you wanting or needing an epidural...Emily is so sure of this claim that she offers a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE!!

 

birthing without fear

A healthy woman’s labour can unfold surprisingly beautifully and calmly when there is an absence of fear. Her body does what it is naturally designed to do; the length of her first stage of labour is reduced; and her body becomes flooded with ‘feel good’ hormones. This reduces the experience of ‘pain’ thus reducing the need for interventions. This is a simple and ancient equation that women are re-membering and re-claiming and which is clarified and nurtured in these classes.

How Can A Father Help?: There is a heartfelt invitation to all men who would like to be at the birth of their baby. By understanding the birth process, the hormones and how best they can be supported with tips and tools, you really can be the support that your partner needs. You do not need to be second guessing , flapping or fearful yourself. On the contrary, you can become the support that your woman, quite literally, could not have been able to do without.

 

The Class:

  • Gives you proven tools in order to achieve deep relaxation, so that your body can work in the way that it was meant to during birth.
  • Shows many positive images of women giving birth gently and calmly, thus providing positive role models
  • Goes through Birth Plans
  • Goes through the physiological and hormonal differences between calm and relaxed versus tense and fearful births.
  • Allows couples the opportunity to focus on hopes, fears and dreams so that they step into the labour together with mutual understanding.
  • Gives time to focus on the baby in the womb in order to nurture the bond  before meeting.
  • Empowers women/couples to labour and give birth in their own unique and sweet way.
  • Everyone is welcome and can benefit from these classes: single parents or couples; first time or well-practised parents! There has also been success with women wanting VBAC’s.

In addition to the class you will be given CD’s to practice relaxation with at home.

Classes are held during the weekend about once a month; individual sessions are also possible.

I am pleased to say that birth remains a mystery and no-one knows what Destiny is written into someone's entry into this world. These classes will give you the tools to develop a mindset that - even if there is an unexpected turn in your labour or birth - you will continue to feel prepared and at peace.

If you are interested in doing this class but live a way off it should be noted that the venue can provide residential facilities. This would mean that you could make a weekend of it and incorporate an evening in Galway, book a massage or similar treatment in the Centre or kick back and enjoy a whole array of cutting edge birth DVD's that can be found in Emily's library!
