Online Antenatal & Labour Package

Antenatal & Labour Preparation package information

We all prepare for the birth in different ways, and knowing how things will unfold is a mystery, but having some additional knowledge and acquiring practical skills can be very helpful.

There are still high levels of Covid infections and in order to help more couples to assess the package, I have decided not to have face to face classes with couples, which is my preferred way, but rather to teach this Programme through an online comprehensive package.

The advantage of this digital package is that in our busy world, it is sometimes difficult to find the time to come to two three hour classes, so with this course package you can learn at your own pace and can revisit the information as often as you need to.

Working towards the birth and being in touch with your baby before birth

The LK Massage Programme's preparation course will give practical and enjoyable advice for you to follow during your pregnancy, but also as you approach and go into labour.

You will not only learn about the specific massage, breathing and simple visualisation techniques that can help you, but also how your labour may unfold, and how to work with the different phases supporting you and your birthing partner.

I gave birth to my first child, a beautiful baby girl called Rebecca Anna.
I was fortunate enough to have my birth partner present who had learnt the LK Massage Programme.

Looking back on my labour I am totally amazed at how effective the massage was at relieving the pain of contractions. I had been using a TENS machine and a hot water bottle until I could be with my birth partner.

I wouldn't have believed that the massage could be a more effective pain relief than the TENS and hot water bottle - certainly more pleasurable.

During my pregnancy, I experienced the relaxing head massage and learnt the self-massage techniques that helped me sleep.

The head massage helped me fall into a deep sleep as if I had taken a sleeping pill, but natural and better.

I wouldn't want to go through childbirth again without the support of the massage that I was fortunate to receive and learn for myself.

Many thanks from a grateful new mum.
