Personal Birth preparation and planning

Personal sessions for couples or families helping them to prepare for birth in the way that best suits them. 

 

Whether your first baby or your fourth, you may know exactly the sort of birth you want, or you may have no idea.  You may be loving your pregnancy or hating it.  Whatever your situation we can work together to help everyone in your family get ready for the birth of the baby. Information, resources, practical and physical skills can all be combined to suit you and included in this may be the development of your own birth plan or preferences.  As well as working on what is important for you personally during the birth to map your birth plan we also work on how best to make this a happy reality in the Swiss or French maternity system.

 

Prices range from around 120-480 CHF depending on situation and number of sessions.

Mama and Baby Yoga

This five week postnatal and baby yoga course helps you reconnect with yourself, with your body and your breath. As your new role in your family evolves this postnatal yoga series gives you the opportunity to develop physically and mentally, finding strength, flexibility, relief and rest in your body, your breath and your mind.
At the same time our baby yoga asanas help your baby deepen their understanding of what and where their body is, how they can currently move and what potential their bodies hold and ways they are separate from you and ways they are connected to you.  Asanas are adapted to suit babies across the age range, developing confidence, range, shape and movement as each baby grows and changes   
Practicing yoga together with your baby can bring happiness, peacefulness, connection and understanding between the two of you.
We use both baby and postnatal asanas and movements, breathing and singing activities, stretches and rest and integration time to have a feel good time each week, taking care of ourselves, of our family and our community and world as we adapt to life with this baby.

Mignon Mama and Baby Yoga, for pre mobile babies (from around six weeks to starting to crawl).  This is a five week course, with each class building on the previous class so regular attendance makes a real difference. 

If you have a baby that is already mobile (crawling or walking) and you would like to join a Mama and Baby Yoga series with them please get in touch with me.
