WELCOME TO EMPOWERED BIRTHING
Empowered Birthing classes teach both antenatal education and hypnobirthing. Throughout this 5 week course we cover- * How to prepare for labour & birth during pregnancy * What is happening during labour & birth * Different types of births * How to be a support person while your partner is in labour/giving birth * Hypnobirthing tools & techniques * Pain relief options * Basics of feeding baby * Postpartum-caring for Māmā & caring for pēpi Plus so much more!! Our aim is to set both the woman and their birthing partner up to feel empowered and calm, from both the knowledge gained and skills learnt, which are practiced during pregnancy. Whether this is your first baby or another addition, the techniques and tools allow women and their birthing partners to aim for an overall positive birthing experience where they are informed and empowered. These techniques and tools are for any type of birth and also provide women and their birthing partners with skills to manage when things may deviate from the original plan.
