Active Birth - an introduction to teaching.
A two day introduction to teaching. Suitable for midwives, health professionals, yoga teachers and anyone interested in natural childbirth. This course will teach you how to help women to find and trust their instincts in the birthing process. An important part of active birth, is the managing of the birth environment, in particular allowing the birthing woman privacy, silence, and space to birth how they want to. This course aims to provide physiological information that supports this environment for childbirth, and will help you to advise women how to achieve this, either in hospital or home birth. The couse will also discuss movement, breathing and birthing positions for the various stages of labour and childbirth, as well as look at pregnancy as a whole.
