Birth Training
This is Danae’s Birth Training through simulation. It prepares your whole system for labour and birth. Inspired by the hundreds of women Danae has supported to push beyond their perceived limitations into limitless self-empowerment and life long confidence.
Birth Training is built on a simple yet often overlooked truth that the body responds best to practice, repetition, nervous-system conditioning, and rehearsal. You are not waiting for labour to happen to you. You are training to meet it.
This Birth Training provides women with more than an education course, which may have little meaning as the intensity of labour progresses.
Birth Rehearsal
Preparing for birth is not about reading what to do on the day, learning about birth on podcasts or going to a workshop. It is practicing regularly what to do on the day.
Rehearsal is powerful because the body remembers experiences, practice, muscle memory, nervous system imprinting and repetition.
“I can do anything for one minute” becomes more than a mantra,  it becomes a nervous system skill.

 

Learn the revolutionary method of Optimal Maternal Positioning.

Create space within a mother’s pelvis for a safer, easier and more comfortable birth.

Optimal Maternal Positioning 

You will learn practical evidence -based strategies to: encourage better fetal positioning, shorten your labour, reduce interventions risks and help create a more comfortable and empowering birth experience.

Testimonial

Danae is inspirational. She is not only incredibly well informed about all aspects of birth (she’s up to date with the very latest medical publications so can communicate with OBs using their language…as well as having a vast network of alternative therapist contacts she can link you in with) – but she is also an excellent teacher. Her presentation of the information is really clear and engaging. She gives lots of practical demonstrations and goes into the “why” behind various options, so you leave feeling empowered to make educated birth choices.

She covers in detail how best to prepare your body for labour. She teaches you about what happens physiologically in birth, and what movements and positions you can use in various stages. Her course also covers situations when your body and baby are misaligned and how you might over come this through movement, rather than struggling and ending up with unnecessary interventions.

 Her explanations about the various bone, ligament and muscular structures in the pelvis contextualises the positions and movements she teaches, and leaves you with a new perspective on birth far beyond first/second/third stage of labour.

Danae also offers on going support through her yoga classes and is really responsive to ad hoc questions before and after the course.

We cannot recommend this course and Danae highly enough.
