What are DreamBirth Intensive courses?
DreamBirth Intensives offer a distillation of full DreamBirth training — you will be introduced to the guiding principles, major concepts and more generally applicable techniques and exercises in DreamBirth training. Intensive courses run over 5 sessions, compared to the 7 sessions in each full DreamBirth training that include deeper, more specialized study.
Through DreamBirth Intensives, Claudia Raiken, Master Practitioner and Director of DreamBirth® will introduce participants to this exceptional tool to create the conditions for a positive birth experience. In these five classes, you will discover the transformative power of DreamBirth®, a unique method that uses simple yet carefully developed guided imagery exercises to support a positive and empowering birth experience for and by your clients.
During this Focus & Catchup Session for DreamBirth Pregnancy Intensive 1, you will discover how imagery works and how to work with your own and your clients’ imagery, how imagery promotes and encourages communication at all levels and stages of the birthing process, and how imagery helps to remove or reduce blocks and fears that interfere with an easy pregnancy.
DreamBirth techniques help reduce fear around pregnancy — an extremely important benefit, as there is evidence that becoming less fearful of labor , increases the chance of becoming pregnant.
Using imaginal techniques and other inner processes and tools, DreamBirth® offers beautiful, quick, simple and practical exercises and guidance to use the innate (pro)creative power for conception, pregnancy, labor, birthing, post-partum care, and parenting and bonding.
The techniques and exercises presented in this 3-hour Focus Session can help with:
- Flexibility of body and mind to prepare for birth — lengthen and relax the body, help the baby get into optimal position
- Facilitating a birth, including clearing fears and incorrect ideas;
- Engender positive emotions, bringing out the best in all involved with the birth;
- Cesarean, or any other intervention, wanted or not wanted;
- Postpartum support: connecting with baby; clearing the body of any medications taken; healing any tears on incisions; talking to doctors and nurses; encouraging milk supply
Participants will receive a Zoom link prior to the first session
