Essentially our aim is to help you birth with confidence and excitement, whatever your birth plan! Daisy Birthing® classes are here to provide friendly tuition in relaxed-active birth techniques which are equally suited to a hospital or home birth (we do not believe in movement for movements sake, but movement for improvement). Our antenatal classes really can help you unlock the key to easier birth.

Lazy Daisy mum only weekly antenatal classes and our couples birth preparation and active birth workshops provide the ideal forum for you to meet and talk to other parents to be (both in classroom and virtually through our web class groups) re-creating the mother-to-mother wisdom and peer to peer support which is often lost in today’s fast paced and commuter based societies.

Alongside the support, Daisy Birthing® classes and workshops aim to provide the most inclusive ‘active birth and holistic pregnancy education class type’ that we know of within the UK backed by FEDANT approval. (We are exceptionally proud to have been one of the first antenatal movement education programmes to obtain FEDANT recognition in Summer 2009, setting the benchmark for other providers). The Daisy Birthing® ‘move to improve’ education will help you to better understand, sense and interpret the pattern and rhythm of labour (we call our tools practical birth metaphors), making you completely confident and ready for your birth journey.

Our birth specific movements are designed to work on the often forgotten ‘key birthing muscles’ like the psoas and piriformis – vital for helping you release in labour (as featured in Practical Parenting Feb 2011).
Of course relaxation is just as important to us as the movement and with this in mind, Daisy Birthing® classes also aim to create powerful birth anchors allowing you to keep in control of adrenalin levels on d-day. Our labour music will guide your through your classes and guide your through your labour! The self hypnosis inspired parts of our class undoubtedly help you chill out in pregnancy and in labour (as featured in Practical Parenting ‘How to experience a chilled out birth’ Sept 2010)
