About and FAQs

Our Active Birth Workshop aims to show both pregnant women and their birth companions useful and practical ways that can help with labour and birth. The workshop provides time to explore how the labouring woman might want to move, position herself and breathe, and how her birth partner can make that easier and more comfortable for her. Women and their birth partners are shown practical ‘tools’ for working with pain in labour including touch, movement and massage. The facilitators draw upon well respected research and knowledge about birth and discuss a range of approaches to meet the intensity of labour, using simple equipment available to all, such as birth balls, pillows and chairs. The suggested donation is £120 per couple and if you would like to bring along an additional birth partner the suggested donation is £150.00

If you book and subsequently have to cancel, we ask that you give us at least two weeks notice. Any closer to the workshop start date, we will always try to offer you an alternative course date or come to some arrangement on a case by case basis.
