Supporting you during pregnancy, birth and motherhood

with specialist massage, nurturing and education

pregnancy celebration
PS Sam: I wanted to let you know that we just finished our Childbirth Ed classes this week, and we're SO happy that we came to do the private massage class with you first. I didn't feel like the CBEd classes prepared us very well at all, compared with the knowledge and insight we gained from three hours with you. I still find myself using your Joyful Childbirth guide and I think we both feel much more aware and comfortable with the birthing process as a result. So thanks!"

No Need To Push! 3 hour antenatal class for an empowering birth experience

pregnant womanIt is a common myth that babies need to be pushed out to be born, but according to the work of New Zealand midwife, Jean Sutton, there's no need. When your baby is in the optimum position and you are free to move and birth in your own way you will have a shorter, more comfortable and easier birth; WITHOUT THE NEED TO PUSH! You and your baby will move together to be born because you both know how to.

This three hour No Need To Push antenatal class is a unique approach to birth and birth education. This workshop will complement your existing antenatal course rather than replacing it. Unlike other antenatal classes where you will learn the theory, our No Need To Push three hour antenatal class will allow you to easily experience what your body is capable of and how you can use your body to your advantage during birth; you will build your confidence and trust in your body’s ability to birth your baby in the best way you can.

All expectant parents are welcome, whether you've birthed before or not.

During the No Need To Push three hour antenatal class;

  • You will experience how your pelvis works and how you can use it effectively to birth your baby more easily.
  • Understand and experience the benefits and disadvantages of different birthing and labouring positions.
  • Feel how much space you have in you pelvis to birth your baby through.
  • Grow confident in your ability to birth your baby in whatever way is best for you.
  • Help your baby to move into the optimum position by changing the way you use your body; even turning posterior babies, breech babies and transverse breech babies.
  • Watch positive, realistic birth videos that will give you confidence (rather than squirming in your seat).
  • Learn how to be an effective birthing partner.
  • Learn the essentials needed to encourage a natural birth.

This workshop is based on the Birth Works Philosophy; it is not a method of birthing. Unlike other methods we do not tell you how to birth as we believe every woman is born with this knowledge. Instead, we help women to build their confidence and trust in their own innate ability. We encourage women to find their own best way to birth and give them the support, information and experiences they need to make the best choices they can in a non-judgemental environment.

We invite women and their partners to attend the No Need To Push antenatal class at any point during their pregnancy and also for those who are planning on being pregnant. The earlier you experience this antenatal class, the easier it will be for you to carry your pregnancy and look forward to birth with confidence and trust.

These techniques are rarely taught in antenatal classes. Learn the most effective techniques from our birth doula. Complete course notes will be given.
