Birth Preparation Classes for Couples
This is an intensive weekend or 6 week course for couples that provides information on all aspects of pregnancy and childbirth and what to expect in a hospital birth setting in Oman. I will show you how relaxation and support can help you physiologically during birth, I guide informed decision making around birth choices, and offer experiences of deep relaxation, visualisation, movement for releasing tension in your body, massage techniques, and connecting with your unborn baby as helpful resources that you can draw on during labour. This method wonderfully complements traditional health care.
What you will learn
The sessions are experiential and practical and will provide you with the tools and techniques to support you physically and emotionally during childbirth. This is a delightful way to develop trust in your birthing body and guide informed decision making based on research, and adapted to the birthing facilities available in Oman.
Based on the book, The Mama Bamba Way, I teach a birthing philosophy based on loving births which are free of trauma and which have a lifelong beneficial impact on your newborn baby. The classes provide tools for ensuring that birthing mothers trust in their ability to birth in the manner of their choice and are able to do so with mindfulness, support and confidence.
