This workshop is born from a desire for birthing people and their partners to have as many tools as possible to confront the discomforts of labor.

 

We'll cover:

​

• movements and positions the birthing person can assume

• massage the partner can offer

• movement of the birthing person's legs the partner can offer if the birthing person has an epidural. Epidurals do not equal the end of movement in birth and keeping the pelvis in motion and opening can facilitate your baby's descent into the birth canal!

• vocalization exercises that help relax the pelvic floor. Some courses to prepare for birth focus on certain breathing techniques, but this workshop will speak a bit about the validity of making noise while giving birth and ways it can be used to your advantage. In addition to exploring the importance of vocalizing, we will do some deep breathing.
