Testimonials
" The Born Ready course provided the tools my husband and I needed to work as team to support an active labour and physiological birth.
The course clearly broke down each phase of birth and the tools given were realistic and practical. I particularly appreciated learning to understand how I manage pain and being able to implement this in labour.
I highly recommend this course for anyone working towards an active labour and birth as well as to educate your birth partner and to build their confidence."

1. How are you feeling now after the born ready practical about your upcoming birth?
This practical has equipped me with a whole range of tools that I can use when I’m in labor. It has helped me feel really calm about the process and confident that my body can do this!
2. What was your favourite part of the workshop?
Being able to do the practical class in a small group made up feel super comfortable to practice all of the different techniques which helped my husband and I really understand the process as well as the reasons why different positions are important!
3. How have you enjoyed the online modules?
The online modules were very engaging and super helpful! They provided us with so much information about exactly what my body is going to go through and they answered lots of questions we didn’t even know we had!
4. Ben How do you feel about the birth, do you feel you have the tools to be a great birth coach/ support?
Learning about the stages of labour and different types of positions and massages I can do to just and make my wife feel as comfortable as possible has definitely helped ease my mind. After this course I know that can give my wife the support she needs
5. Would you recommend born ready to your friends?
Absolutely!!

" The course is the perfect balance of physical preparation and birth education which is presented in a clear and concise format.
The Born Ready course provided me with the foundations for an incredible and positive birth. My husband and I competed the course together, both the online modules and face-to-face session.
We had a 5 hour labour with a water birth and no epidural. Throughout my labour I felt confident and informed of what I was experiencing and regularly used tools I learnt throughout the Born Ready program.
I can’t recommend the Born Ready program enough. It provided me with the foundations for the birth of my dreams and the perfect start to motherhood with our baby girl.

“The course was incredibly informative. It was great because it was pitched at a wide audience - covering some basics and also going into detail when necessary. It was great hearing all the different possibilities and options during labour, rather than just the 'ideal' labour. It was very extensive and covered so much content in just a few hours.”

" My feedback and David’s is really positive, the course made me feel a lot more secure and informed and also helped David understand what his role will be on that day and that it will be normal to be a bit shocked and in pain. After a month we’re still talking about it and we did the birth plan together."

“Thought the course was brilliant. Really liked that it actually answered questions rather than skirting around them. Very matter of fact which I really liked. Also liked the explanation of how the hormones impact on one another. Also, the in hospital, post birth piece. The exercises were great in particular those aimed at getting the baby into the correct birth position.”
" Born Ready was empowering, I loved having the knowledge from this course to use in my labour. I used the breathing recommended through my “pushing phase”.
I also used some of the position suggested in the course, bub was board on hands and knees.
I really feel my partner valued a lot from the courses and I’m so thankful he knew how to support my hips. He ended up doing it for 12 hours!
He also learnt a lot about the stages of Labour and to advocate for me and help priorities my plan as much as he could.
We would highly recommend the course! "
