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 families will learn:

  • What to expect in the different phases of labor (because fear of the unknown is often a reason women may veer from their birth plan)

  • Different labor positions to help sustain labor progression

  • Pushing position options for shorter 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!

Families taking this workshop will receive the course notes, photos of the different labor positions we will practice, and handouts summarizing key principles to take to birth location.
