REORIENTING BIRTH

MASTER CLASS 2025

What is it the Reorienting Birth about?

Birth is a beautiful and complicated time that can make a deep imprint in a person and his or her development that influences daily life. In this training, you will learn about the different kinds of imprints and in what stage of birth that kind of imprint would be most visible.

We see imprint as a behaviour, emotional and a thought pattern that a person has and experiences as if he or she has no control over. Some imprints are constructive and some are not constructive. In this training, we will focus on both, how it should be and what happens when things go wrong in different birth stages and how to change it.

Some examples of imprint are having the sense of:

  • I can never come through,
  • I never have enough time,
  • When things happen, it’s never on the right time,
  • When I’m in high stress, I work a lot, but then I get a flue, cannot do more and  I end up with not completing the task.

The 6 stages of birth are:

  • Start – the time before (a week before)
  • Soft Birth – first stage labour; the stage of expansion.
  • Transition Stage – transition between first-stage labour pains and second labours pains, which moves the uterus in different ways.
  • Hard Labour – second labour pains
  • Delivery
  • The First Days After – just after the delivery and days after birth.
