Embodied Birth
A 1 Day Workshop
Upcoming Dates
Nov 1st
10am - 4.30pm
What to Expect?
Birth is one of the most natural things we can experience, but a lifetime of messaging means many of us arrive to pregnancy already fearful and mistrusting of the labour & birth process.
What if instead of just learning about birth, you could truly embody your birth power?
Embodied Birth is a transformative one-day workshop that goes beyond traditional antenatal classes. We believe that with the right trust, knowledge and support - any birth can be positive, however your baby makes its entrance into the world.
Hosted by Sami and Jocie, a postnatal doula & hypnobirthing instructor respectively, this intensive day is carefully & passionately curated to help you remember what your body already knows whilst equipping you with practical wisdom for the journey ahead.
You’ll Experience…
The sacred biology of birth - understanding how to support & honour your natural physiology with intuitive movement and techniques to help bring your baby into an optimal position
Valuable Hypnobirthing tools that work to deeply relax you and reframe your birth through a lens of positivity
The transformative power of touch and massage during labour
How to support your hormones optimally throughout birth and beyond
Breathing approaches that move beyond rigid 'techniques', helping you find your intuitive breath that is the cornerstone to letting go and surrendering to your unique birth path
Yoga for birth to ground all this wisdom in your body and help your connect to your growing baby
Finding your voice - advocacy and autonomy for the birth truly desire
The Pillars of Postpartum - preparing for the 3rd trimester
Breastfeeding wisdom & embodied practices for postpartum healing that honour this sacred transition
Birth is a dance…
Between what your mind believes your body is capable of, and what your body instinctively already knows. This isn't about memorising techniques - it's about awakening the deep wisdom that already lives within you
Inclusive, realistic & trauma-informed support that honours the power of your mind and the intelligence of your body
This is a valuable addition to NCT or other antenatal education you might be doing. It’s ideal for first time parents looking to fully prepare, as well as those in need of a hypnobirthing refresher or a deeper dive into the elements that aren’t typically covered in mainstream courses.

FAQs
-
Yes, absolutely we support women and birthing people who are doing this solo. If at all possible, we would recommend that a friend, family member or doula could be recruited to help you navigate through labour and birth itself. Your chosen birth partner would be more than welcome at the sessions.
-
100% yes, we do.
-
It’s never too late to engage with birth preparation, however an optimal time would be some time in your 2nd trimester so that you have some time afterwards to integrate the information and listen to the birth relaxation tracks.
-
Please bring a water bottle if you have one. We will provide teas/coffees and snacks throughout the day and there are lots of local cafes to visit if the course runs over a lunchtime. (You may also bring your own lunch if you wish - the venue has a nice garden to sit in)
-
Yes, absolutely. We don’t believe there to be any hierarchy within birth choices and birth outcomes. Whether you are planning a home birth or hospital birth, whether you plan to have no interventions or plan to have an epidural or induction - we respect all choices. The course is focused more on the physiological process of birth however, so if you do plan to have an elective cesarean birth then get in touch with Jocie as she may be able to offer you a positive cesarean mini prep course if you wish.
