A Full-Day Workshop for Pregnant Women, Women Planning Future Babies, and Birth Support People.

You've maybe already done birth education. You've read the books and explored the many podcasts. And between the lines of all that information, you may have the question you haven't answered yet: am I actually going to be okay in there on the day/night of my baby's birth?

You want to feel calm going into labour. You want your body to know what to do, so your mind can relax and lean into the natural flow of labour. Right now, the preparation available to you, hopefully, covers logistics: what to pack, what happens at each stage, and hospital policy. It probably doesn't touch the nuances of fear, the self-doubt, the stories you're carrying about birth and about yourself that will shape how the labour, birth & postpartum actually goes.

This workshop is an invitation to spend the day working through and understanding the brain waves and hormones of labour, explore any worries or fear of birth and how to learn from them (sometimes needed) and how to release them, and explore the subconscious beliefs about birth and womanhood that most women never get the chance to examine.

I will take you through the process of how to prepare mentally and emotionally for birth. Women walk away from the workshop with a body and mind working together, and a new way to approach their birth and postpartum period that truly meets their unique needs. We are all so unique and have such different life experiences - and in this workshop, we take the time for you to get clear on what it is you need to feel safe, cared for and more in touch with your intuition.

What previous women have said after the workshop:

"While in the bubble and observing myself in it, I continue to feel inspired by your workshop and all the thinking that you offered". ~ Maria

"This workshiop a path to self-discovery and spiritual alignment, empowering you to show up more fully for yourself and the people in your life by deepening your connection and awareness to your inner self. It helped me build the foundation to better support myself and those around me. I felt a sense of being where I was supposed to be during the workshop. I felt heard and seen and learned so much about discovering what has shaped me." ~ Michelle

 

What We’ll Explore

In this nurturing and held women’s space, we will:

  • Experience what it is like to move through different brain-wave states (those accessible during labour) in a conscious, safe way - so we know their power and potential.

  • Go far beyond “just another birth class” - this is an opportunity to embrace the deep wisdom that lies in childbirth and in birthing anything meaningful in your life.

  • We will honour and discuss childbirth as a rite of passage
  • Understand the interconnectedness of our birth imprint and how we feel about birthing (babies or other things & projects)

  • Honour the tradition of sitting in circle, being held in a safe, sacred feminine space.

  • Draw on the ancient tool of drumming and shamanic ritual: releasing fear, rewiring belief systems, reclaiming our body’s innate wisdom.

  • Support all women affected by birth (which in truth means all of us) to meet our story, reclaim our power, rewrite what is possible.

Who This Workshop Is For

  • Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

  • Women who want to explore their belief system around birthing (doesn't have to be actual babies, can also be projects)
  • Birth-workers, birth-keepers, doulas, midwives - anyone who supports birthing in any form.

  • Women birthing a new version of themselves, a creative project, a life transition.

  • Anyone who knows the call to deeper work around birth, initiation, embodiment and creative birthing.

Without this kind of preparation, many women go into labour informed but still afraid, reacting to what's happening to them instead of working with it. Fear left unexamined tends to surface at the worst possible moment, in the room, under pressure, with no time left to work through it.

Practical Info

This workshop holds the sacred, the ritual, the soul-level work AND it also holds facts, embodied science and real change. We honour the physiology of birth, neurobiology, brain-wave states, imprinting work, the cultural context of birth (how it’s been medicalised, ritualised, contested). We blend the ancient and the contemporary, the mystical and the grounded.

 

The next workshop

  • Date: Saturday November 28th 2026

  • Time: 10am-4pm
  • Location: The Gathering Space, 2/160 Flinders Street, 2021 Paddington NSW

  • Investment: $300 (Payment plans available via the ticket link)

  • What to bring: pen & notebook, BYO lunch, comfy clothes, water bottle, any special items you feel called to bring to place in the circle (optional).

  • Spaces are limited to preserve the intimacy and depth of the circle - early registration recommended

Picture yourself in labour, recognising what's happening in your body, trusting the uncertainty of the process and not needing to change anything. Your fears aren't running the room because you already met them, weeks earlier, in a safe space with time to actually work through them. You come into the postpartum period with a plan already in place, instead of scrambling to figure it out.
