Embodied Birth: Labour & Partner Preparation

A 3‑hour practical workshop to help you and your birth partner feel prepared, informed, and empowered for labour and birth.

Birth is a deeply embodied experience - a dance between strength, surrender, and intuition. Embodied Birth invites you and your chosen support person to step into this journey with confidence, knowledge, and connection.

Join Fiona Harrison and Julia‑Rose Gribble for an immersive, hands‑on afternoon designed to deepen your understanding of the physical and emotional rhythms of labour. Together, you’ll explore movement, breath, and mindset as powerful tools for navigating birth with ease and presence.

In this nurturing and practical session, you’ll:

  • Explore positions and gentle movement sequences to support baby’s alignment and the natural flow of labour.

  • Learn techniques to create balance and space in the pelvis for greater comfort and progress.

  • Understand the stages of labour, induction options, and how to navigate hospital or home birth choices with clarity.

  • Practice breath, sound, and affirmations to stay grounded and centred throughout each surge.

  • Equip your birth partner with supportive touch, advocacy skills, and confidence to hold space for you with calm assurance.

You’ll leave with:

  • A concise FAQ and take‑home resource guide.

  • Visual inspiration of real birthing positions and partner techniques.

  • A renewed sense of trust in your body, your partnership, and the birthing process.

Places are limited to maintain an intimate, supportive environment.

Book your spot now and step into your birth experience with strength, grace, and embodied confidence.
