Blossom & Berry Professional Childbirth Guide - Preparing to Birth with Love and Mindfulness
Train with us to become a Professional Childbirth Workshop Guide
Birth is a sacred joyful occasion. Mel Craven, a Doula and Childbirth Educator has developed a Birth Preparation Workshop for Blossom and Berry, which celebrates the power, strength and perfect design of a pregnant person’s body to create and birth life.
When a pregnant person and their inner circle, their birth team, understand the purpose for the intensity of sensation and emotion. When they create a safe loving space to listen to their body, to move, breathe and dance in unison with their baby – a wonderful opportunity arises for immense growth and transformation.
When a light is shone upon the magnificence and power of a person during childbirth, and they are loved, trusted, supported, nurtured and praised – suddenly what seems impossible becomes extremely possible.
Enrol on our Blossom & Berry Professional Childbirth Guide - Preparing to Birth with Love and Mindfulness
As a Childbirth Guide you will encourage birthing people and their partners to understand the sacred, transformative nature of birth. Birth is a rite of passage, that allows a person to find an inner power and strength they may not have known they were ever capable of. Birth can be very empowering for the birthing person and everyone around them.
If a person births in an environment of support and love, being an active participant in the process, allowed to choose what position they want to be in, being consulted and nurtured every step of the way – regardless of the type of birth that transpires – the birthing person will be more satisfied, less likely to be traumatized and more ready to bond with their baby.
"There is no greater moment of creation than when life is born." — Jennifer Worth
