- Simple visualisation techniques
- Understanding the positive effects of hormones at birth
- The mechanics of labour
- The stages of labour
- The benefits of touch
- Optimum Support for a birthing mum and how birth is a team effort
- The importance of prenatal and after-birth bonding
During the course you will hear many positive birth stories from women and their partners who did the calmbirth® course and used the techniques during birth. You will also hear how useful the calmbirth® skills have been for parenting.
The course is run over two full days or five nights of 2.5 hours. The location for the two day course is Neutral Bay or Crows Nest. The five night series is located in the Dee Why area.
The ideal time to do calmbirth® is from 22 to 34 weeks, though later in your pregnancy is OK.
