**NEW** Prenatal Breath Coaching Workshop

With Melanie Ollivier

The Breath is the ONLY thing that is with you through your entire labour and birth experience. Everything else you use, will come and go as needed, but the breath will be with you through it all. You can use it on its own, as well as in conjunction with other tools, resources or pain medication. So we will be talking about everything from~ What, Where, Why, When and How we can use this continuous internal resource.

WHAT the breath is doing inside the body

WHERE in the body we breathe.

WHY we use specific breathing techniques

And WHEN And HOW to use them.

When we give ourselves the knowledge and understanding of why we’re doing something and what is actually happening when we’re doing it, it creates empowerment.  It actually allows us to get into a different mindset and embody the practice when we implement it, than the limiting space we would be in when we don’t understand the why or the what.

Give yourself the gift of fully understanding and utilizing the power of your breath and its full potential to contribute to carrying you through your Labour & Birth Experience.

With the use of props and supports at any stage of pregnancy, find accessibility in every pose. Pregnancy is a time in our lives where we can gain real body awareness and learn to work with ourselves accommodating our continuously changing bodies in each stage of our pregnancy journey.

Tap into the lower centers of the body where your baby is being created, getting grounded and centered in that space.

 Breathwork - Using a variety of Breathwork techniques, you will be able to understand what breathing techniques you need at any time in your life or pregnancy. Breathwork is a tool we can use to help relax into, or change whatever state we find ourselves in. It can be used to manage pain, reduce stress & tension, release built up emotions, increase energy, mental clarity & focus, relaxation & sleep, or increase performance.
