Give Birth Without Fear

Feel calm, in control, and supported every step of the way

Labour is as much a mental and emotional journey as it is a physical one. This highly interactive, face-to-face workshop is designed to help you and your birth partner understand how fear can influence birth, and more importantly, how to manage it!

Led by experienced midwives, this session will give you simple, powerful tools to reduce fear, support the nervous system, and keep labour progressing smoothly. You’ll leave feeling confident, calm, and equipped to navigate even the most unexpected moments with strength and focus.

What makes this workshop different?

Many antenatal classes talk about pain relief and positions, but this workshop goes deeper. We teach you how your brain and body respond to fear in labour, and what to do when those responses take over. You’ll practise practical tools with your birth partner, so when labour comes, you both know exactly how to stay grounded and in control.

Whether you’re planning a straightforward birth or want to feel prepared for any scenario, this workshop gives you the mindset and methods to move through birth feeling supported, not scared.

What you’ll learn:

• How fear affects the nervous system, hormones, and labour progress

• How to spot when fear is stalling labour, and how to guide your body back to feeling safe

• The four core tools of the Give Birth Without Fear method, and how to use them in every birth situation

• Contraction rhythm – how to work with it, not against it

• Birth partner strategies – learn how to support, guide, and reassure through every stage

• How fear and unmanaged stress increase the chance of intervention

• Practical ways to stay calm during induction, epidurals, or unexpected changes

• The role of hormones and how to support your body to keep labour progressing

• How this approach supports all types of births, including caesarean and assisted deliveries
