Welcome! I’m excited to announce that Active Birth Workshops for couples will
be taught online throughout 2026 by Lola Alcarez Perez. This one-day workshop is a unique body-centred
preparation for birth that is much more effective and empowering than the usual antenatal class. It is taught by a very special and insightful
teacher and doula. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to help you prepare for
your birth. There will be plenty of time for discussion as groups are small, interactive
and very inclusive of partners.
My focus this year is on training more Active Birth Teachers online. Our next Professional Teacher Training Course begins on 8th March 2026. This a
professional training, and is also open to experienced and knowledgeable mothers who
would like to learn how to teach and inspire others to have a wonderful birth
experience. I’m excited to be planning new courses with my colleagues Jill Benjoya Miller and Lola
Alcarez Perez that will be easier to attend in real time from different time zones.
