THE BIRTH TOOL KIT
WORKSHOP

We offer hands-on birth training for couples with two leading birth prep workers: Dr Lou Nicholls, a chiropractor with post-graduate training in pregnancy and paediatrics, and massage therapist Lauryn Johnston, who has expertise in women's health during the childbearing years. 

 

This workshop will give the birthing couple a range of techniques to add to their birth toolbox.

After this workshop, you as a birthing team will have strategies to use in each stage to create a flow in your labour. 

 

Some of the Tools Covered

 

• Active labour positions and acupressure

• Aromatherapy timings and how to use in labour
