Easing Labour Pain 2hr Workshop

Easing Labour Pain is an online class that features information not covered in other prenatal classes. This class is about keeping birth moving along efficiently, reducing pain and decreasing compilations. Learn practical information to help you prepare for labour.

It’s about the best 2 hours you can spend preparing for your birth! (Registration link for the condensed Beta class, Feb 6, is below.)

Suitable for first-timers or parents having their subsequent kids. Doulas and other support people welcome!

“This was by far the most useful class we took!  It helped us so much in labour with the actual hands-on practise and learning what some of our options are!” (C & S, 2017)

I really enjoyed the class. It would be such a beneficial class for all parents in different seasons .. 1st-5th baby etc.  I think position was great to do.  It never hurts to figure these comfort measures out before being in labour and the partner would definitely be feeling prepared to help mum out.  (Amy, 2019)
