Module 1 – What an Empowered Birth Can Look Like
Adding a Prenatal & Birth Psychology (PPN) perspective to birthing vastly increases empowerment levels for both mum and baby. With new cutting-edge information about pregnancy birth, and the consciousness of babies, parents can maintain agency and choice throughout.
Module 2 – Laying the Foundations for Your Baby’s Life
Discover how earlier parenting mitigates trauma and stress for babies, how conscious babies are in the womb, and how you can prepare for empowered birthing. Examples are given of:
1. A newborn healing session
2. A hypno-birth, and
3. An empowered mum put under pressure in labour, and how she handled it.
Module 3 – Interventions: Why a Natural Start to Labour is Important
Learn about the lifelong Medical, Emotional, Somatic and Psychological effects of medical interventions. Hear about 3-year-old Maria’s healing session after being induced by Pitocin. Understand the deep effects of medical interventions on babies and mum’s, and feel enabled to make good, informed and empowered choices.
Module 4 – Prenatal & Birth Imprints – Parts 1 & 2
All of us store our memories (imprints) from our prenatal and birth experiences, and environment, and they are unconsciously affecting us daily. Imprints affect our perception of people, relationships, parenting, pregnancy and birthing, and of the world, and when we’re triggered into an early imprint, we’re not present. Let’s get aware of when we’re triggered in an imprint – or present – so we can have an empowered birth!
Module 5 – Positively Influence Your Baby’s Prenatal & Birth Imprints and Mitigate Stress, Trauma and Adversity – Parts 1 & 2
Babies don’t arrive at birth – they’re here at conception and have been here for almost a year. Nurture a secure attachment with your baby before birth, and you become the authority on what s/he needs. As the parent you can consciously influence and protect baby and parent them through birthing for an empowered birth.
Birth is Relational – you and baby are doing it together
Module 6 – The Influence of the ‘Cultural Norm’ in Birthing
Get to know the cultural ‘norms’ that are deeply, and unconsciously, affecting your experiences, choices and decisions in pregnancy, and birthing. Have more conscious choice, power and agency.
Module 7 – How Parents’ Own Prenatal & Birth Imprints Affect Pregnancy and Birthing
Parent’s own prenatal and birth imprints come up when they decide to have a baby. We ‘remember’ our own conception to post-birth period through unconscious repeats of our own early imprints. These can be disruptive and challenging in birthing when we’re unaware of them.
Choose what you want to repeat, and what you don’t. Learn how to stay fully in the present, not caught up in your own early imprints, because the present is the best place to be for birthing!
Feel empowered in your birth together – mum working to give birth and baby working to get born
Mum’s and babies know how to do it!
This class series is for you if you want to stay in agency over yourself and your baby in your birthing experience, avoid an unnecessary c-section, and become well informed and discerning about medical interventions. Learn cutting-edge ways to understand and manage interventions and little known ways to parent from conception onwards, and throughout your child’s life, for family health and wellbeing.
You’ll learn about prenatal and birth imprints – we all have them – and receive the information you need to create positive imprints for your baby. Discovering more information about how your own prenatal and birth imprints affect your pregnancy, and birth is very empowering and can prevent unexpected disruptions during birthing.
