We have lost the tradition of passing down wisdom of birth through our mothers and grandmothers. For most people nowadays images of birth often come from television and magazines. These sources are often over-dramatic or portray a narrow, prescriptive view of birth and don’t prepare you for the reality of birth and parenting.

 

The information covered in my classes is varied, adapting to the needs of the women who come. Birth is not a predictable event and no two births are the same, so rather than presenting you with facts we look at different aspects of pregnancy and birth, exploring the possibilities and being mindful of the need to expect the unexpected during birth.  The blend of gentle yoga based exercises, information, breathing and relaxation create a holistic and practical childbirth class, helping you to feel confidently prepared.

 

In addition, it can be hard to find the time in our busy lives to relax and enjoy ‘being’ pregnant. Labour of Love’s classes give you much needed time out to focus on your pregnancy and baby; to celebrate the joy of pregnancy and having a baby and also to honour the fears each new parent has in a supportive environment.

 

“I can’t recommend Rosa and her classes highly enough. Rosa creates a wonderful safe environment for mothers-to-be to have time for yourself and to bond with your unborn baby, to prepare for your birth learning practices and techniques that I was able to use despite my birth not going at all to plan” (Tatra)
