Back To Basics Birthing Classes

These classes are designed to provide women and their partners with knowledge and skills relating to pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond to create a positive birthing experience.

During these classes I will provide you with:

• Active birthing – not a passive bystander.
• An understanding of the biomechanics of your pregnant body.
• Your hormones and how they help your birth.
• The stages of labour and what to expect.
• Five Senses of Birth – tools and techniques for relaxation and pain management.
• The role of your partner or birth support team.
• Using essential oils during pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatally.
• Breathing techniques.
• Visualisation techniques.
• Affirmations to remind you how strong you are.
• Identifying and releasing your fears of birth.
• Massage and acupressure techniques.
• Optimal Maternal Positioning – creating space so baby can move.
• Creating your Birth Plan – mapping out your wants and needs.
• Your rights – hospital policies are not the Law – consent is the Law.
• Delayed cord clamping – waiting for white.
• Birthing your placenta.
• What to expect during your immediate postpartum period.

This childbirth preparation class is fun, interactive and provided in a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.

It runs over 2 x Wednesday evenings from 6pm till 9pm at Wellness on Whatley, 162 Whatley Crescent, Maylands and includes refreshments.

Group classes
We have set dates for group classes in 2024 and 2025, and your investment is $440 per couple (including GST). This includes a comprehensive workbook with diagrams and laminated cheat sheets to take home with you, and ongoing support leading up to your birth.

Private classes
If you can’t get to the scheduled group sessions, we can arrange a private session to suit the individual needs of you and your circumstances. These sessions are available on Monday to Friday from 9am till 4pm. Your investment is $650 per couple (including GST) and includes refreshments, a comprehensive workbook with diagrams and laminated cheat sheets to take home with you, and ongoing support leading up to your birth.

BONUS RESOURCES
You will also be given access to my comprehensive online Back to Basics Birthing course (retails at $295), which gives you really in-depth information (so much more than you will learn at your hospital ante-natal classes), studies and research, MP3 relaxation downloads to help prepare your mind and body, affirmations, videos, additional workbooks and so much more that I don’t have time to cover in the two in-person sessions.

Here is one of my many 5-star reviews – this one by Xanthe who attended my classes previously:

“I highly, highly recommend this course! It’s so empowering & informative. All of the info has been useful, & access to the online course afterwards means I can follow-up on anything I want to clarify. Vicki is a wonderful presenter & the course is the right mix of practical hands-on tools, knowledge, & advice from Vicki’s considerable personal experience in the birthing field. I feel empowered, confident & excited about giving birth whereas beforehand I felt apprehensive & overwhelmed. My partner is a lot more involved and engaged, as he feels he has some tools as a support person, and we now also share a common language around the birth process.”
