Labor Essentials Workshop
Effective labor tools to confidently prepare for a low-intervention birth
The Labor Essentials workshop shares highly practical information families can use during their labor in order to meet their goal of having a natural or low-intervention birth at any birth location. During the workshop we will discuss:

Labor positions for each phase to best encourage labor’s progression
How to address labor stalls
Signs your body is ready to push and practical tips to reduce pushing times
Comfort measures to effectively address discomfort
Breathing techniques for labor and pushing
The importance of relaxation and addressing our mental and emotional state during labor
How partners can best support mom in her pursuit of a natural or low intervention birth
And more!
