The Calmbirth Program will provide you and your partner with a toolbox for birth.

Understanding the psychology of birth and how your mental state, thoughts and beliefs leading up to and on the day, not only dictates your experience of birth, but also the way your body works with labour and birth.

The physiology of birth – explains the four stages of labour and how your body prepares itself to give birth.

Tools to work with birth – techniques and practical skills that assist you mentally and physically such as: visualisations, meditation, massage, acupressure, and active birth positioning.

Defines the role of the partner and what they can do to help support you on the day emotionally and physically, as well as how to work together as a team. Calmbirth gives partners their own birth toolbox to work with birth on the day.

Preparation for all birth journeys – working with intervention, C section or previous birth trauma.
