Co-Birthing
Birth is a time of great celebration, and an investment for life! This gentle course of birth preparation, run over 6 evening sessions, helps parents develop a holistic, spiritual and loving approach to pregnancy, birth and parenting. The focus is on creating a deep connection between the mother, her baby and her partner through pregnancy, during the birth, and beyond.
Developed by spiritual counsellor, doula and active birth teacher Amanda Edwards, the co-birthing programme combines practical guidance and advice with attention to your and your baby's emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and brings you into close, loving and trusting contact with one another.
Amanda will work with you as a couple, from mid pregnancy, helping you discover how to birth together, which will deepen your relationship
and your experience of intimacy. This is a positive start
to your journey as parents together and will benefit your baby enormously.For mums who wish to come without their partner, Amanda will guide you to connect with your growing baby and maintain a deep connection through birth, which will assist you both during labour and birth, and is wonderful preparation for bonding after birth.
Each week has a different emphasis, but always includes relaxation, visualisations, co-breathing, birth positions, connection with each other and your baby - and tea and biscuits!
“ I am particularly grateful for the work we did on our emotional blocks to
free us of a number of fears that could have made our baby’s birth a lot less
harmonious. Keep up the good work - giving dads the chance to be active
during their child’s birth, for the benefit of all.”
