Movement & Massage for Pregnancy & Birth
Afternoon antenatal workshop in Frome, Somerset
- a great addition to your toolkit of resources for labour-
" Freedom of movement is important in making the birth of your baby easier. It is the best way for you to use gravity to help your baby come down and to increase the size and shape of your pelvis. It allows you to respond to pain in an active way, and it may speed up the labor process."
Simkin & Ancheta, 2005

This workshop is a great practical part of your birth preparation, whether you're using it as a refresher course or planning for your first baby.
The session is structured as a mini birth rehearsal, so you can get a sense of the potential rhythm of a birth. We’ll use partner yoga, active birth techniques and massage to help you and your partner prepare for birth with confidence.
You may have an decent idea of how birth works, but would like to explore options and remind yourself of process in a practical, relaxed session.
Perhaps you’d like to explore some movement and massage principles that can help you understand how your birthing body works, and help yourself and your birth partner prepare to meet baby with with calm and confidence.
* tools for calm
* Understanding the body and brain in labour
* Practical biomechanics
* Reminder of the stages of labour
It’s ideal if you can bring a scarf along (something like a Pashmina or a hammam towel is ideal - or anything woven of a similar kind of size). All are welcome to join us for a social cuppa at a nearby cafe after class.
Led by Emilie, a doula, antenatal and yoga teacher with over 13 years experience working with families in the year of childbirth.
