Enjoy a Relaxed Pregnancy and Birth with Lauren’s Spirit Birth One Day Retreat.

This one day course offers so much…

Suitable for couples or Mama’s to attend on their own or with their chosen birth support partner. A unique offering in the birth space, shared over one day in person with further ongoing support as you move through your pregnancy and postpartum.

Designed to prepare you for all the ways birth can unfold and ultimately create a positive and rich birth experience for all.  Spirit Birth offers practical, science based – highly relevant information along with exploring the spiritual dimensions of birth and the profound rite of passage into parenthood.

(This program is deeply grounded, not ‘fluffy’ or woo woo. ‘Spirit’ refers to our whole self and our ability to embrace all the ways birth can unfold and the rite of passage for parents)

Ongoing support is a unique part of this program and a must, which is why we have an extensive online program that each participant can gain access to along with 1:1 support after the day.

This one day course will teach you simple, effective tools along with neuroscience & age old practices that will help create optimum physiology for ALL birth. You will discover more about the journey into becoming a mother and why postpartum care is so important, especially in our world today.

We focus on practical tools that offer effective support during birth such as:

• Breathing techniques – specifically for times of intensity, between intensity and during second stage labour. All of which assist the body in birthing effectively. Along with breathing techniques that can be used through ALL birth experiences.

• Massage – during intensity, between intensity, plus massage and touch that will help soothe a mother during any birth experience including cesarean birth.

• Birthing Positions – It’s very important that a mother and her partner are fully aware of how they can move, what will make a positive impact on both mother and baby, equipment that can be used and what options are available with the room

• Optimal positions for mother and baby – ways you can help your baby engage in your pelvis and birth with more ease.

• The importance of your Birthing Space – learn simple ways to create a space that helps your body produce the hormones necessary to birth with more ease. It’s vital that a mother feels at home, relaxed and comfortable in her chosen space.

• Being with Intensity – we practice how to be with intensity before birth – without going into panic, and build your confidence to breathe though discomfort whilst staying in a space of acceptance.

• The mind / body connection.

• Beliefs and why they are so important to understand, and change where necessary.

• Basic physiology of the uterus and what helps it to function.

• Hormones and how we can enhance the ones we need both pre and postnatally. • Meditation and the power of Visualisation – and how to support yourself in the lead up to birth  and postnatally. • Yoga (asana) – simple practices and ways to move that will offer support, relief and stability. • Your partner will learn how to support and hold space for a woman to birth. This is absolutely  vital.
