For as many years as I can remember, birth support professionals have been comparing birth to a marathon run. But we never really stopped to reflect on the full meaning of this metaphor. It means that expectant mothers need to be coached prenatally in order to make it to the ‘finish line’ – healthy, vaginal and positive childbirth. Coaching your birth client prenatally is the pathway to a healthy and positive childbirth experience.
In this one day workshop, you’ll learn the basic principles of modern coaching; the same ones as executive coaches, life coaches or career coaches use. These principles and strategies all began in sports and migrated to other areas of life where people can benefit from coaching. It is now time for birth keepers to integrate them into birth support.
