Birth Circle: Antenatal Workshop
A one day workshop, that leaves you feeling confident for birth and parenthood.
Is this going through your mind?
I want a natural birth, but am fearful of the pain
I am so busy and don’t want to spend an entire weekend on birth classes and also don’t know where to start
I need my partner to be confident in supporting me through labour
I want to know how to use breath, massage and positions for labour and birth
This was me (Abby), before I had my kids. I was already a midwife and had seen countless labours go off course and had cared for many new parents through the struggles of early parenthood. That’s why I facilitate Birth Circle, to provide knowledge, experience and current evidence to expecting parents, to help them feel prepared for birth and perhaps even more importantly, early parenthood.

This workshop invites expectant mothers to explore the sacred energy of the "waiting" phase—often seen as a time of stillness and uncertainty at the end of pregnancy.
