BORN READY - Birth Skills Workshop
Born Ready will empower you with the knowledge and skills to support the birth of your choice.
We give you the science behind birth so you can truly understand all of your options, and make the right choices for you. We teach you birth skills & we teach your partner how to be a good coach!
The practical workshop will teach you & your birth partner all the tools to manage the symptoms of labour, this includes pain relieving strategies (such as TENS machines), birth positions, and birth skills designed to distract you in the first stage of labour. The workshop also teaches you how to have the most efficient birth you can, allowing you to feel different birth positions and to troubleshoot when labour is not following an efficient path.
