" Born Ready was empowering, I loved having the knowledge from this course to use in my labour. I used the breathing recommended through my “pushing phase”.
I also used some of the position suggested in the course, bub was board on hands and knees.
I really feel my partner valued a lot from the courses and I’m so thankful he knew how to support my hips. He ended up doing it for 12 hours!
He also learnt a lot about the stages of Labour and to advocate for me and help priorities my plan as much as he could.
We would highly recommend the course! "
Elizabeth and Pat
" The Born Ready course provided the tools my husband and I needed to work as team to support an active labour and physiological birth.
The course clearly broke down each phase of birth and the tools given were realistic and practical. I particularly appreciated learning to understand how I manage pain and being able to implement this in labour.
I highly recommend this course for anyone working towards an active labour and birth as well as to educate your birth partner and to build their confidence."
Charlotte
" The course is the perfect balance of physical preparation and birth education which is presented in a clear and concise format.
The Born Ready course provided me with the foundations for an incredible and positive birth. My husband and I competed the course together, both the online modules and face-to-face session.
Throughout my labour I felt confident and informed of what I was experiencing and regularly used tools I learnt throughout the Born Ready program.
I can’t recommend the Born Ready program enough. It provided me with the foundations for the birth of my dreams and the perfect start to motherhood with our baby girl.
