Step 2. 3days . The method and the childbirth class
We focus on breaking down the Childbirth Class into parts. First Susanna Heli presents each part. Then you train on each other or study in depth the different steps with your study partners in break out rooms.
The practical training will take place in 2 sections from Saturday lunchtime.
In the first section you will participate as a practitioner and do the exercises. Therefore, you need 1 person to do the exercises.
In the second section you will be the one guiding 2 people to carry out the exercise. Therefore you need 2 people to participate. This section can also be done as a homework assignment. You then have to notify us when the exercise is done.
You will get more specific information when registrating but unfortunately, it is not possible to plan the times exactly for the practical training, and because of that the people that will help will have some time just sitting around and waiting.
