Daisy Birthing® weekly classes

Daisy Birthing® is the only antenatal class programme to utilize a completely wonderful multi sensory approach which allows mums to enjoy active birth education, breathing techniques, gentle yoga-inspired movement and confidence boosting relaxation with the aim of providing mums with a 'tool kit' for labour.

We give mums a multi-sensory approach in our classes and along with the repetition of our music and movement we aim to produce 'muscle memory' (the movements become second nature, like driving a car) which helps to prepare your body for labour as well as easing any pregnancy niggles you may have. You don't have to be particularly bendy or fit and we don't hold poses as the emphasis is on relaxing and opening the body. We also cover educational elements each week, which are built into the movement section so that they're easier to remember as you learn as you move.

The relaxation segment at the end gives you a chance to lie down and enjoy some 'me time'! We use elements of hypnobirthing to try to counteract all the negative views of birth that you see/hear about in the media and from friends and to instil you with calm and confidence about your own labour and birth.

You can start Daisy Birthing® classes any time after 14 weeks but starting relatively early in pregnancy can be good as many mums like to do more than one term, because the more you repeat the movement, the more instinctive it is in labour.
