A 2-hour workshop (either in-person or virtual), exploring a holistic approach to pregnancy, birth and parenthood through reflections, exercises, and discussion. Clients will have the option to book a complimentary 1-hour follow-up session.

​

My hope is that through this workshop you’ll be able to develop a better understanding of your own internal experience of pregnancy, and explore your beliefs, hopes and fears related to birth and parenthood, both through reflective and practical exercises.

 

Workshop Overview

• Reflective Exercise: ‘Where am I?’

• The 2 Paradigms (The ‘Technocratic’ VS the ‘Human/Holistic’ Approach)

• There are two ways of understanding pregnancy, labour and birth: as a purely physical event or as a multi-dimensional one (physical, psychological, emotional and even spiritual).

• The Myth of Demeter and Persephone

• The New ‘Myths’

• Contemporary collective ideas and beliefs around pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

• Reflective Exercise: Personal Ideas & Beliefs

• The Myth of Leto and Artemis

• Exercise: Relating to Discomfort

• Exploring discomfort to develop tools for labour

• A Guided Meditation- Finding Your Safe Space
