With so much information being thrown out there by a culture wounded by birth trauma, the collective of Parents are constantly becoming more fearful around what is a very normal, everyday occurence around the world.
What could be offered in place of that is a a step back from the trauma and a true evaluation of what the dynamics, practicalities, reality and beauty of a birth are.
While mindful of the confusion and hurt that lies around disturbed birth experiences we shine light upon the way that it can be, what you need to ask for, how you can ask for it, how you can find the voice and confidence to become the director of your own birth and how to mindfully choose and engage with those who you may wish to invite into your birthing and postpartum spaces.
This workshop is a glimpse and yet a whole portal through which you will find a deeper connection to the mind and body in relation to Birth and beyond.
We, Jennifae and Sian, bring an amalgamation of teachings from our trainings in The Matrona Advanced Holistic Doula and The Postpartum Psyche programs as well as in Birthing From Within, Sacred Pregnancy, Sacred Birth Journey, the Art of Sacred Postpartum, Hypnotherapy, Reiki + Thetahealing, Transformational Coaching and Herbalism to bring a well-rounded, deep dive into birthing intimately and consciously and how to obtain autonomy, wisdom and confidence in and around the journey. This is an intensive form of childbirth education that aims to download you with many tools and seeds of wisdom with which to truly walk away feeling galvanized and assured in the ability of your own body and what you desire from your birthing team.
In this 4 hour workshop we will discuss topics such as:
The Holistic Stages of Birth
Physiology + Anatomy of Birth
The Authentic role of the Birth Partner
The Hormonal Cocktail of Labor
Undisturbed Birth vs Managed Birth
Creating a Family-Led birth
How to prepare for a Conscious Postpartum
Mythical underlying of moving into Mother
We encourage you to bring with you anyone who you feel would benefit from learning along with you, especially your partner, though this is certainly a perfect space for Solo learning, too.
There will be space for a cookie and tea break as well as questions, some conversation and a meditation practice.
The workshop is held on the beautiful grounds of Misty Ridge Retreat B + B.
Spaces are limited.
