We provide a variety of fantastic and unique ante-natal training classes for couples, or individuals, which you can choose to take privately or on a (small) group basis.
Group classes are usually concentrated into one "Super-Sunday" session, lasting seven hours, during which we are able to give you all the essential training you will need. These classes are particularly useful for busy working couples, or individuals, who would prefer to access all the information they will need in one concentrated burst rather than attend a number of shorter evening classes spread out across the last
trimester. The duration and frequency of private classes can largely be tailored to what suits you best.
The classes cover all the basics you will need to know to prepare you for
labour and
birth, plus lots of valuable tips and guidance on how to fine tune yourself physically and emotionally for the big day. This is the kind of advice you won't find elsewhere.
In addition to all the basics, topics covered include: what you and your baby experience; mental and physical preparation for the
birth; preparing for positive parenting; what your baby senses and what your baby needs;
visualisation techniques; positions for
labour; nutritional requirements for mother and baby during
labour; natural pain relief for
labour; tips for the first few days post-birth. Additional, post-birth information, is covered in our "Postnatal Support Programme" section.
If you are interested in joining one of our ante-natal training &
birth preparation days or if you would like to fix up for private training sessions, please call our reception and they will arrange this for you. Classes can usually be arranged at relatively short notice. Just click on "Book a consultation, treatment or class" from the menu bar on the left hand side of this page to get in touch.
