What is Practical Birth Preparation?

​

Unlike purely theoretical courses, here we transform the basics into concrete, relevant tools tailored just for you. You will practice techniques, try different aids, and create a plan that works in real life. The goal is for you to feel a sense of positive control and a strengthened sense of teamwork when it’s time to give birth.

​

Why a private course is a valuable complement

​

• 100% focus on you – you get the instructor’s full attention.

• Personalized – we fully adapt to your circumstances, needs, fears, and wishes.

• Flexible time and location – the course can be held in your home, online, or in our venue, at times that suit you.

• Your own pace – we can spend more time on what feels important and skip what’s not relevant.

• Safe environment – many feel more comfortable asking questions and sharing personal experiences when there are no other participants present.

• Direct feedback – the instructor can fine-tune and adapt techniques on the spot so they work perfectly for you.

• Home-based – try techniques in the place you’ll actually use them during the early stage of labor.

• Extra support for the partner – the partner gets more space to ask questions and practice their role.

​
