The 7 Secrets of Birth Professional Training with Janet Balaskas
A new and exciting collaboration with Janet Balaskas founder of the Active Birth movement and Dominique Sakoilsky Co-Director of Relaxed Birth and Parenting. The training will take place at the Active birth Centre London, 23-25 March 2012.
This is one of the most exciting and unique professional birth trainings available, facilitating a deep understanding of the physiology of Active Birth whilst also learning the 7 Words System which is an incisive tool for exploration which enables profound and pragmatic preparation for birth.
Whilst giving trainees a solid understanding of the natural physiology of birth, the mind body wisdom that underpins birth, we will train you in skills that help facilitate the understanding and healing of the psychology of birth. You will learn to explore and understand what inhibits that birth process. Using the 7 Secrets System trainees will learn tools which enable them to get a quick and profound sense of what their clients bring to the arena of birth. There is a saying that we “birth how we live” and this training will help us to understand what that means. How do we let go both in the body and in the mind so that we are free to birth?
On this training you will:
- Learn Active Birth physiology and the hormones of birth
- Learn active listening skills which will fine tune practtioners to bring a unique sensitivity and presence to their work.
- Develop an awareness of working with the psychology and relational aspects of birth; the mother, father and baby (including perinatal understanding of the babys experience of birth).
- Learn how to empower women to make incisive decisions for birth
- Help women and their families develop a clear vision for their birth.
- Learn how to help women release fear, and bring resolve to experiences and stories that may inhibit the birth process.
- work with grace and surrender and the spirituality of birth.
This training will invite self reflection, as it works on the premise that we need to understand something of ourselves if we are to ask our clients to look inwards.
It will be useful:
- To those wanting to train as Doulas. However, you would be required to complete Module 4 and 5 of the Active Birth Centre Professional Training to then become an accredited Relaxed Birth and Parenting Doula, accredited by FEDANT and insurable.
