The Village Birth Prep Course
Preparing Your Mind & Body for Birth
A Full-Day Birth Prep Course for You and Your Birth Partner | 9am – 5pm
Most birth education teaches you about labour. This workshop teaches you what to actually do when it starts.
You'll spend the day with a team of four specialist practitioners — a Home & Hospital Birth Midwife, a Doula, a Lactation Consultant, and a Pre & Postnatal MumSafe Personal Trainer — who work with birthing families every single day. This isn't a generalist prenatal class. It's a full day with the exact people families call on through pregnancy, labour, and those first fragile weeks postpartum, all in one room, all focused on you.
Why Families Choose This Workshop
Most antenatal courses leave you with information but no idea how to use it when contractions start. This workshop closes that gap.
Birth isn't something you learn about — it's something you move through, respond to, and experience in your body. Understanding the process matters, but practising the tools with experienced practitioners in the room is what builds real confidence going into labour.
Across the day, our team will help you:
Understand what your body is doing during labour, physiologically
Practise practical ways to support and work with the birth process
Rehearse hands-on tools before labour begins, not for the first time during it
Give your birth partner a clear, confident, active role
A Team With Range — Not Just One Perspective
Because you're learning from a Midwife, Doula, Lactation Consultant, and Pre & Postnatal PT together, you get a rounded picture of birth preparation that a single-practitioner course can't offer:
Midwifery expertise on the physiology of labour and how it progresses in home and hospital settings
Doula-led hands-on comfort measures, positioning, and continuous partner support techniques
Pre + Postnatal Trainer-guided movement, strength, and pelvic preparation you can safely continue at home
Lactation consulting insight into the fourth trimester, feeding, and the early postpartum transition
You leave with one cohesive plan, built by the specialists who each live in their part of this journey daily.
What You'll Learn
Understanding Labour
What happens physiologically during labour
How labour progresses and what supports it
How to work with your body rather than against it
Movement & Body Preparation
Birth-supportive exercises to build strength and endurance
Pelvic mobility and positioning to support baby's movement
Floor-based and birth ball exercises you can continue at home
Breath & Nervous System Support
Simple breathwork to reduce tension and support focus
Ways to stay grounded as intensity builds
Tools to support your nervous system during labour
Hands-On Labour Tools
Labour positions and movement sequences
Partner support techniques for comfort and positioning
Acupressure for pregnancy and labour
How to use a TENS machine, including pad placement
Rebozo and birth sling techniques for comfort and release
The Fourth Trimester
What to expect in the early days after birth
Understanding newborn feeding and sleep cues
How to support yourself and your baby through the transition into parenthood
Built for Partners Who Want a Real Role
The most common thing we hear from partners is: "I want to help, but I don't know what to do."
This workshop is designed to answer that directly. Partners leave with practical, rehearsed tools for movement, comfort measures, breathwork, and positioning — so instead of standing by, they walk into the birth space knowing exactly how to support you.
What's Included
A full day with four specialist practitioners in a small-group setting
Hands-on guided practice throughout the day
Full access to birth balls, TENS machines, rebozos and slings
Take-home resources to keep practising after the workshop
Tea and light refreshments
Dedicated time for your questions and individual support
Who This Is For
This workshop is ideal if you:
Are in your second or third trimester
Want a practical, hands-on approach rather than another lecture
Feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice online
Want your partner to feel genuinely confident and involved
Are after a supportive, evidence-informed approach — without rigid rules or pressure
A Gentle Note
Every birth is unique. This workshop isn't about controlling or predicting how your birth will unfold — it's about helping you feel prepared, adaptable, and supported, whichever way your labour goes.
Ready to Feel More Prepared?
Spend a full day with a Midwife, Doula, Lactation Consultant, and Pre & Postnatal PT, and leave with the knowledge, tools, and partner-ready confidence to approach birth feeling calm and prepared.
