Active Birth

I'm getting excited, i'm off to an active birth workshop for the next couple of days. The workshop is run by Andrea Robertson who is an "independent consultant in childbirth education with over 30 years of experience presenting workshops and speaking at events in many countries around the world.
She is the author of 6 books, including the best selling Preparing for Birth: Mothers and Preparing for Birth: Fathers, The Midwife Companion – the art of support during birth and Empowering Women – teaching active birth. Andrea is based in Sydney, Australia. "
Andrea is making a special trip over to Europe to run several workshops. The workshop i am going on is entitled empowering midwives to empower women during birth and it will cover 'rediscovering the pelvis, empowering and motivating parents towards normal birth, working with pain in labour, self help ideas for labour, plus much more! I always come away from workshops like this full of the joys of birth and excited to pass on the knowledge that i have gained. I can't wait to share with the couples who come to my antenatal sessions :)
