Couples Pregnancy Workshop
The conscious journey of autonomous birth
Course Overview
This two day class is aimed at couples who want to deepen their relationship and experience for their upcoming birth together. This weekend of connection will be nourishing for your relationship where you can get real with each other and create deep trust for each other that you can take into the birth portal with you. Your questions about pregnancy and the birth process will be answered but more than anything our aim is to reacquaint you both with your intuition as well as being able to step fully into your feminine and masculine powers. This workshop is most suited to those planning a freebirth, homebirth or a birth centre birth but regardless all are equally encouraged and welcome.
Course Outline
Unpacking Beliefs
In this session we will uncover what limiting beliefs or stories you have around birth that no longer serves you. You will hold space, witnessing each other in your vulnerability through eye gazing exercises and we will facilitate an opportunity to be more open and honest in your communication.
Walking The Underworld Of Fear
We explore what purpose fear serves and through group discussions, discuss the fears that can come up either in the pregnancy or labour and determine whether these fears are real or projected from external sources.You will then get to reframe these fears and create affirmations that can be used during labour.We end this session with a fear release ceremony.
Day Two
Entering The Portal & Emergence
We start the day by talking through physiological birth and how it can unfold. We talk about the uniqueness of every birth and how listening to our intuition is paramount. You will participate in an exercise where partners support their women in a ‘simulated birth’ experience.Practice holding space for her as it gets ‘intense’.
Rest, Recovery & Integration
Preparing for the post-partum is essential and during this session you will begin to understand the importance of this period for the woman. We will discuss what partners can best do to support their women which includes knowing who is in your “village” and putting in place help that will support both of you in the postpartum. Partners will be taught basic massage skills and be asked to prepare a nourishing dish to share for the final group lunch.

About Norafiah
Im a radical birthkeeper, massage therapist and facilitator of energy for personal transformation, of many years. I deeply support traditional values and cultural practices that strengthen and facilitate our connection to our Spirit, our Ancestors and the Land.
I believe that Birth is sacred work and a deeply transformative journey for women. We can invoke the collective wisdom of all women who have birthed and learn to trust our own innate biological wisdom and spiritual knowing of birth.
We ultimately uncover the inherent power we hold (and can wield). In doing so we ensure our children inherit a lineage forged with strength, beauty, freedom and Love.
May we be blessed and protected on this journey, always.
