HOLISTIC BIRTH PREPARATION

The Sistering Tree is pleased to offer alternative prenatal classes in Nelson, BC

These comprehensive prenatal classes offer a balance between practical information and creative approaches to childbirth preparation.  In small, personalized groups, we prepare holistically for labour and birth. In releasing attachment to the outcome, the mother and her birth partner find ways to maintain a state of surrender, even if medical supports are needed.  Through centering practices and mindfulness techniques, a woman can learn to trust her instincts and inner resources.

15-Hour Prenatal Course covers:

• Signs & stages of labour
• Breath awareness
• Body-mind techniques
• Birth fears & informed consent
• Partners’ roles and needs
• Asking health care questions
• Neuro-hormonal physiology
• Creating your birth space
• Comfort measures
• Acupressure for labour
• Meeting the unknown
• Newborn care & procedures
• Diapering, swaddling, soothing
• Breastfeeding class
• Postpartum healing & planning

And much more…
