Transform Fear and Pain to Power and Pleasure: An empowering birth workshop

Come and enjoy a blissful day in beautiful Mission Beach as you prepare to embrace more power and pleasure in birth and beyond.

Shift your focus from fearing and numbing pain, to instead embracing pleasure and claiming your power in birth. This half day pleasure-filled workshop will leave you and your partner feeling confident, connected, and empowered with proven practices that enhance pleasure and power in pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Are you feeling nervous or fearful, lacking confidence or clarity about your birth journey, dealing with previous trauma, or worried about pain?

What if you could instead feel:

• confident, empowered and excited about birth,
• more closely connected with your partner and baby,
• prepared with proven practices and positions to enhance pleasure and comfort
• supported with a personalised Birth Map to guide informed empowered decision making through all possible pathways?

If you'd like to explore how, I invite you to join me, Michelle Daga, an accredited childbirth educator, doula and perinatal counsellor, in this hands-on half day workshop for couples that will change the way you think and feel about birth - for the better.

This four-hour event combines two of my most popular offerings into the one half-day workshop, integrating:

Orgasmic Birth™ philosophies by Debra Pascali Bonaro

As an official Orgasmic Birth™ Practitioner personally trained by Debra Pascali Bonaro, I will provide guidance on exploring pleasure practices and positions you can use in labour and birth (as well as pregnany and postpartum) to create more comfort, connection, intimacy and joy for a safer, more satisfying and more pleasurable experience for both mothers and birth partners.

By embracing more pleasure in birth, we can enhance the release of birthing hormones which naturally reduce pain, create ecstatic and pleasurable feelings, and support labour progression and better birth outcomes for mothers, partners and babies.

The benefits of pleasure practices extend to pregnancy and postpartum too, supporting physical and mental health and wellbeing for both partners, and enhancing connection between couples.

"If you were told you could have one of the most physically, emotionally and spiritually transcendent moments of your life, and here's the map to get there, would you really say no?" - Elizabeth Davis - midwife, educator and co-author of Orgasmic Birth.

Navigating Birth on your Terms with the Birth Map™ by Catherine Bell

As a Birth Map Cartographer®, I share the principles of going beyond the limitations of a traditional one-way birth plan.

During the workshop, you will be guided to create your own Birth Map, helping you undersatnd and consider all of your options and make informed decisions, empowering you to confidently navigate your birthing journey (and beyond) on your terms.

We can't plan how birth will unfold, but we can prepare for a range of possibilities by understanding all of our options and making informed decisions, rather than simply consenting to what is routinely offered.

The Birth Mapping process asks open ended questions you likely haven't thought of yet, empowering you and your birth partner to take a leading role in your birthing experience.

You will leave this workshop not only with a dynamic personal document to guide and support your decision making, but also a positive transformational experience that will support you and your partner to nurture a closer connection and approach your birth and postpartum time with a shared vision.

"There are many possibilities, understanding the various options and how they impact each other aids in making Informed Decisions.
Taking time in advance to consider the different possibilities and options can reduce trauma, confusion or stress." - Catherine Bell, founder of The Birth Map™
