Free talk - The body in birth
Join Tessa for an hour’s talk on the body in birth historically and the importance of centring it now…
Understand how past studies and practices affect how your labour is monitored and why women are usually depicted as lying down rather than choosing upright positions for birth.
Tessa gives practical tips for during pregnancy to support your baby's position in utero on movement, posture, pelvic floor and professional support.
"Wow! Lots of interesting information and funny how I was seeing being induced as an intervention but not a stretch and sweep... sooo yep, given me lots of food for thought!! Birth plan writing tomorrow and will be showing [my partner] all the moves / tips on asking for cordless sensors etc if I do have to be induced!! Thank you for all the help!!" Joanne Shearsmith

Masterclass on Labour & Birth positions
2-hour workshop with your birth partner ~ use biomechanics for birth techniques
Learn practical positions and techniques to support your baby to move through the pelvis and protect your perineum.
Do you know what to do if you’re feeling consistent pain in early labour rather than regular contractions?
What if the midwife says you’re fully dilated, but the baby isn’t moving down? Want to know what to do before forceps is considered?
Cover this and much more in the in person workshop (run every two months) or through the recorded version (you can still ask Tessa questions)
Relaxation tracks to purchase
Care for your nervous system in pregnancy
You can access a whole library of yoga nidra tracks of different lengths or single hypnobirthing tracks.
They are designed to be supportive of any type of birth and give you the opportunity to switch off during pregnancy and prepare for the labour.
Learning how to relax is a skill like any other - it becomes easier with practice.
The best way to learn is through stories
In the book I share all sorts of techniques, but the information you’ll really remember is from the diverse positive stories that mums (and a few dads) share. It’s the little details of what made a difference to their labour that you won’t find in a how-to book.
See also my mindful Pregnancy & Birth Colouring Book with Yoga Nidra. Perfect for space to reflect on your journey and even to use during labour!
