Active Birth
Active Birth preparation is offered at Viveka by the founder of the Active Birth movement, Janet Balaskas, in weekend courses and, if you prefer, in private sessions.
The focus is to give you everything you need to approach birth with confidence, knowing how you and your baby progress through pregnancy and birth, and feeling powerfully in touch with your birthing energy. You can attend on your own, or as a couple. Partners find the courses invaluable in gaining understanding and defining their role as supporters.
Janet also runs courses on natural birth & water birth, and for expectant couples in preparation for breastfeeding and newborn care; and popular Pregnancy Yoga for Active Birth classes.
Private Sessions are available for individuals or couples by arrangement. These are tailored to your needs. Janet also offers one-to-one counselling regarding any aspect of pregnancy, birth preparation or early parenting.
