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.
