Birth preparation for moms & couples

We have been offer­ing birth prepa­ra­tion cours­es for cou­ples for many years, because we know from our own expe­ri­ence that “being togeth­er” dur­ing a birth can make a sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tion to expe­ri­enc­ing this major event better/more intensively.

We focus on the fol­low­ing topics:

• the cou­ple (prepa­ra­tion for the birth, birth sen­sa­tions, posi­tions, etc.)
• Relax­ation and breath­ing exer­cis­es for, dur­ing and after the birth
• Instruc­tions for a few sim­ple and valu­able mas­sages and move­ments that will be help­ful dur­ing preg­nan­cy, birth and afterwards
• the appre­ci­a­tion of this spe­cial time and the con­fronta­tion or per­cep­tion of the feel­ings that arise dur­ing this time
• * Deal­ing with pain
• How can the part­ner actu­al­ly sup­port their part­ner dur­ing the birth
• Take pres­sure and inse­cu­ri­ties away from the father-to-be and strength­en the cou­ple’s rela­tion­ship through con­scious thoughts and approaches
• Breath­ing and relax­ation exercises
• The 3 phas­es of birth
• Birth posi­tions
• Post­par­tum
• Sex­u­al­i­ty after birth

We expe­ri­ence together:

• Intu­ition — Fem­i­nin­i­ty — Cir­cling — Mov­ing — Sounding
• Pranaya­ma — Breath­ing exer­cis­es — Prepar­ing for birth
• Release/relaxation — jaw-pelvic floor connection
• Plea­sure — free­dom in the uterus/pelvic floor
• Savasana — Yoga Nidra for preg­nant women: relax­ation with aids

The course is also an oppor­tu­ni­ty for par­ents-to-be to exchange ideas with each oth­er. All par­tic­i­pants are wel­come to bring in top­ics and questions. 

It is a great plea­sure for us, San­dra and Lisa, moth­ers of sev­er­al chil­dren our­selves, to share our expe­ri­ences in this area, to pro­vide each cou­ple with a per­son­al tool­box and to set the mood for a won­der­ful birth.

These cours­es take place in a very small, inti­mate set­ting and there is plen­ty of room for your ques­tions. You can reg­is­ter for the next course sim­ply by click­ing here:
