Massage and Birth Support techniques for Birth Partners

Birth partners are an integral part of the Birthing atmosphere and are a valuable source of comfort and reassurance to the birthing woman. In these sessions I aim to equip them with the tools to fully engage with the process and offer advice and techniques to support their partners.

Using Breathwork, massage, reflexology and Aromatherapy as well as an understanding of the physiology of each stage of labour we can form a support package that allows the birth partner to feel prepared and involved every step of the way.

Whats covered:

  • Recap of physiology of each stage of labour

  • Massage & reflexology techniques to calm & centre and promote nervous system regulation & Oxytocin enhancement.

  • Safe use of Aromatherapy oils in labour.

  • Breathwork & relaxation tools

  • How to support your partner in the immediate postpartum period & supporting a breastfeeding parent.

  • Q & A - I’m there to answer any questions you may have

“ …thanks so much for the session, I feel so much more prepared for the big day now and feel confident to put to use all you taught us. If anything it has made me feel prepared to be in the birth room, which is something I was apprehensive about, how I could support J and generally what I should be doing. I’m pleased to say, I won’t feel like a spare part now! I think the breathing techniques will help me more than J! Thanks for the information and next time we see you little one will be here!” Lawrence

All sessions can be tailored to your specific birth preferences/plan.
