Active Birth Antenatal Short Course

An active birth is one that uses movement, gravity and enhanced knowledge of the body's physiology to create the optimal experience for the new family during the birth process and beyond. An active birth can take place in a variety of settings by using informed choices and ensuring the mother, her wishes and her body are respected and prioritised.

Local doulas Simi Shah and Vaida Milne-Tyte are offering active birth preparatory workshops for parents expecting in 2022! This experience which is tailored for a small group is offered in two formats: weekend and short course. The courses draw from a wide variety of perspectives including Active Birth, Yoga Birth and Hypnobirthing as well as many years’ experience that Simi and Vaida have gained while attending births as doulas. Their teaching is evidence-based to give you a well-rounded and realistic understanding of what to expect at the birth of your baby. You will leave the course ready to meet your arrival feeling calm confident in your own strength and excited for the transition into parenthood.

The short course will suit second time parents who wish to have a refresher or those short on time before their arrival. The session will focus on:

  • Active birth principles and best birthing positions
  • Pain management options
  • Tips for the birth partner
  • Practical preparations for baby feeding resources and a hospital bag checklist

Simi Wilhelm Shah and Vaida Milne-Tyte's Offering at will be arranged shortly.

Every few months the Moon Wise Women Practitioners gather to share thoughts, food and to learn from one another.

As a community, it's incredibly important to us to meet and support one another.

At this gathering we were fortunate enough to be joined by @albanebrandphotography who led us in a session on visibility, as practitioners, and communicating with the wider world about how we can support them.

Not only was it a powerful and educational session but Albane found time to take these fabulous photos.

Thanks Albane x

Happy May Day / Beltane!

The mid-point between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice.

Embrace the sun, listen to the birdsong*, smell the blossoms, and feel the grass under your feet!

*The swifts are back in our corner of North West London - although their song is more like the call of the devil, rather sweet song 😆

This wonderful painting is by @tijanadraws - check out her creations!
