I will train your HANDS…To know just when and where to touch the labouring woman…..and when not to touch her! Develop special skills, in assisting your partner in massage and touch and plus enhance your own confidence and help you unleash your natural gifts!

You will unfold your HEART…Most of us just know we need to do this! I will give you the opportunity to unlock your heart to the amazing work of assisting your partner to labour and birth in an empowered and loving way. I will assist you to look deep inside yourself, and find where your thoughts and feeling lay with regard to birth, challenging your core beliefs, so that you become more understanding and aware of why natural birth is a wonderful option, for bringing your baby into the world.

I will offer information for your HEAD… Birth is 10% mental and 90% physical and not an intellectual thing where women are constantly aware of their surroundings and asking questions. Having this sound knowledge of the birthing process will assist you to stay calm and supportive given 100% of your mental, physical and emotional support to your partner. This calmness will assist to remove fear from you and your partner (the labouring woman), and allow her to find her own path/journey where she will just labour away until the need to birth comes along.

We will also look at alternative natural pain relief options, to assist you to feel strong and positive and keep labouring away naturally.

I will assist you to open your HEART and create a labour of love…Most of us just know we need to do this! I will ask you to look deep inside your soul and ask yourself how do I really want to birth my (our) baby. Using ‘imagineering’ I will ask you to be very clear in your request of the birth you wish to plan for and create. Explore your options and know what it is that you want to have happen.

I can assist you to feel strong and confident in your BODY and it’s ability to birth…without a doubt - Through gaining an understanding of what is happening to your uterine muscles, the hormones, the pelvis during the stages of labour you will be better equip to just allow your labour to flow.
