As future parents you go through a lot of physiological changes, have time consuming appointments with midwife and care facilities, while still having a full workday and a household to run.
Time flies and many questions come up which need answers.
In my CBE weekend course you get to take 2 full days off from your routine life and dive into the magic and wonders regarding becoming parents. I will host the course in my home and will provide healthy food, snacks and beverages for you. Best time to take the course is beginning and during the 3. Trimester (from 28 weeks on).
You receive MANY answers to your questions.
I have been in the birth world since 1995, learned from a good number of midwives in different countries and an enormous number of parents about their needs.
I gained throughout these nearly 3 decades lots of tricks and tips to hand out to you in just a few hours. I filtered the most important information for you.
Quick note: my grandmother was a midwife, her first born daughter was a midwife, so you get information from 3 midwife-generations out of the same family.
My course is divided in two 8-hour learning days:
| First day | Second day |
| is all about your feelings throughout pregnancy, your wishes and needs in a sacred place full of support and love. I talk and inform about the last trimester and labor start, physiological birth process, birth in different settings with different care providers, partner role in birth, vaginal and abdominal birth, pain relief and ways to cope with labor for hours. You will get a bunch of recommendations to prepare physically and mentally for your 1. Chapter into parenthood. I help empowering you to feel safe and have the trust in your body, baby, birth. | Is a day to process the information of day 1 and explain more about birth, only a few complications, immediate postpartum and postpartum care to provide a great understanding about this period, when your life as parents with a baby earthside starts. I support you with newborn care information, nutrition during birth/ postpartum/ breastfeeding period.We talk about sex after giving birth, the baby blues, breast milk production, lochia (bleeding after birth), anticonception methods. We take away myths of different birth cultures, and enjoy lots of time together laughing, learning, nourishing body and soul. |
