Labour and Birth Preparation
Definition
Labour and birth preparation focuses on supporting the body and mind through the final stages of pregnancy. It helps expectant parents prepare physically, mentally, and emotionally for the process of giving birth. Labour and birth preparation combines body alignment, breathwork, relaxation, and education to promote confidence and reduce tension as birth approaches.

Who Can Benefit
Anyone in the later stages of pregnancy can benefit from labour and birth preparation, particularly those seeking a more comfortable, supported, and empowered birthing experience. It’s also ideal for people wanting to understand how their body changes in preparation for labour.
Approach
Our team combines gentle manual therapy, education, and guided exercises to optimise posture, pelvic mobility, and breathing control. Labour and birth preparation may include stretches, positioning techniques, and pelvic floor awareness to help prepare for an active, positive birth.
