Birth Partner Workshop – Practical Preparation for Labour & Birth

Sunday 1st February | 10:00–13:00
£120 per couple
2.5-hour workshop + relaxed tea & cake social

Our Birth Partner Workshop is a warm, practical and confidence-building session designed to support both pregnant women and their birth companions in preparing for labour and birth. Blending biomechanics, psychology and evidence-based birth knowledge, this hands-on workshop gives you the tools, techniques and understanding you need to work together as a team on the day.

What to Expect

Across the morning, we explore how the labouring woman may want to move, position herself and breathe, and how partners can support those instincts with comfort measures, confidence and calm. You’ll learn simple, practical “tools” for working with labour sensations — including touch, massage, movement, breathwork and positioning — using everyday items such as birth balls, pillows and chairs.

The workshop also offers space for couples to connect, practise techniques together, and build a shared plan for birth. After the session, enjoy tea and cake with the group to ask questions, chat and meet other parents-to-be.

You Will Learn:

• How your baby and body work together through pregnancy, labour and birth

• Practical biomechanical principles to ease pregnancy discomfort and support optimal baby positioning

• Breathing, relaxation and mind–body techniques for labour and birth

• Labour massage, acupressure points and hands-on support strategies for birth partners

• Instinctive labour and birth positions — why they matter and when to use them

• How partners can offer emotional and physical support with confidence

What’s Included

• A friendly, in-person workshop (2.5 hours + social time)

• Resources to read and refer to after the session

• Interactive opportunities to try all techniques together

• Admission for two adults (pregnant person + one birth partner)
