“I came alone and feeling a bit concerned I would be the odd one out but I quickly found everyone to be so welcoming and good company, we spent a great day with you, and I have relayed it to my husband so that he understands it too” Sarah, Taunton

“This is brilliant Eleanor, I have learned such a lot and its all practical, and real as you relate it so well to your work as a Midwife, we now understand how we need to approach our babies birth as a couple and what our role is in making sure that will be exactly as we would like it to be” Nathan and Michaela, Taunton   

“I was concerned that as English is not my 1st language I would not be understood in the hospital but now I know that this is not true but also that having that worry is stopping me from being confident about my baby, so thank you so much for helping me to feel relaxed about my accent and being understood” Helene, Tiverton 

How to have a brilliant birth 1 day workshop

This workshop will give you a positive mindset for your birth, ensuring you are calm , confident , and excited.

Knowing how your body works and what positions are helpful is great, and to make all those elements effective and workable you also need to understand that your thoughts and attitudes towards your baby and the birth impact on the day , and alter your perceptions and memory of the day  as you reflect on it for the rest of your life time.

The morning will be spent looking at the negative beliefs of  birth and your unique and specific concerns and worries .Where did they come from and do they serve you and your baby .Would you prefer to have peace of mind and feel happy, relaxed and  focused?  

After Lunch we will be looking at the positive aspects to birth and building your confidence and  trust in yourselves and your ability to have the birth you want to have, and remember that will be UNIQUE  for  every Parent.

By the end of the day, you will understand how your thoughts affect your labour and how you can stay in control and make choices. You will have tools and techniques which will support you to be relaxed anytime and anyplace and so you can keep control in any situation.
