The greatest privilege of a human life is to become a
midwife to the awakening of the Soul in another person- Plato
You are here because…
You would like continuity of midwifery care that is tailored to you as an individual
You wish to work with a midwife in a face-to-face setting rather than online
You are looking to gain the tools and confidence needed for your labour and birth
Your partner is looking for practical knowledge and tools on how to support you
You want to know your options including pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management in labour
You want to have an active birth on your terms
You need an in-depth one-stop course or a refresher for your second or subsequent labour/birth.
What is Active Birth?
Active birth encompasses a philosophy of working with the natural process of labour and birth. This includes being upright and mobile and using non-pharmacological pain management options. The woman takes leadership of her experience and is actively involved in decision-making.
Benefits of active birth include a reduced likelihood of needing medical intervention, shorter duration of labour, increased support from birth partners, and women having more satisfying experiences.
“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers - strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”
-Barbara Katz Rothman
