<p>- a detailed understanding of how the process of labor and birth work;<br />

- tools to increase the efficiency of your labor, remove your fear and enable you to work with the pain;<br />
- real skills for partners to provide that essential support during labor.</p>
<p>What previous Active Birth workshop participants had to say about their experiences:-</p>
<p>&#8220;It opened my whole understanding about childbirth!&#8221; Yusnizah, First-time Mum-to-Be</p>
<p>&#8220;The workshop was informative, yet not biased. Really enjoyed Victoria&#8217;s interesting presentation and passionate and engaging style. I now feel empowered, excited and in awe of the process.&#8217; Lucille - First-time Mum-to-Be</p>
<p>&#8220;Got some good strategies for reducing intervention, clearer about when they&#8217;re not necessary, feel more like we&#8217;ll be in control of our birth now, rather than just along for the ride.&#8221; T.F. First-time Dad-to-Be</p>
<p>&#8220;Very illuminating and gave me confidence - almost looking forward to the birth now!&#8221; First-time Dad-to-Be</p>
<p>The Active Birth workshop is very interactive, practical and fun, even partners say so! (<a href="/services/active-birthing/">more&#8230;</a>) </p>
