Private Couple Session
We believe that there comes a time when a mother is best served in a one-on-one relationship with an experienced Childbirth Educator
While a group setting is an effective way of learning and practicing, pregnancy and birth remain an entirely personal experience for the mother and her birth companions.
Your three hour private couple session with Suzanne Swan is tailored to meet your specific needs. This hands-on practical session is an excellent refresher or complement to your antenatal class in the hospital.
The session is offered face to face in our Currumbin Clinic on the Gold Coast on Mondays. Advance booking of four weeks is required to secure a session. Your investment is $650.
What is covered in the 3 hr private session
Breathing techniques for an easier birth
2. Optimally positioning your baby
3. Massage skills & acupressure for labour
4. Active birthing positions for labour and birth
5. Stages of labour and birth
6. Transferring to hospital & water birth option
“Couples leave feeling relaxed and confident that they have the practical skills to meet any of the emotional or physical challenges that labour may bring”
Suzanne Swan
WHAT COUPLES SAY
“The knowledge that you gave Jon was absolutely the best thing that I could have wished for. He was hugely supportive, took control and when I needed a bit of a break he went into relaxation mode which just made me completely relaxed between contractions. The midwife actually asked us after the birth what courses we did as she has never seen a partner so helpful and in tune with the mother than us”
BROOKE & JON
WHAT COUPLES SAY
“When we chatted to you about our fears toward the end of our session, I felt really seen and that was very important to me. I loved how you facilitated the conversation between Steve & I, it was so valuable to discuss his coping methods too. I feel like we both understand each other better after the short time we had with you.”
CASSIE & STEVE
WHAT COUPLES SAY
“We couldn't be happier with the decision to book in a session with Suzanne ahead of our baby's arrival. The session was incredibly informative and left both myself and my husband feeling a lot more prepared and resourceful for when the time comes to give birth. Suzanne is knowledgeable, passionate and caring - the perfect person to trust with preparing for your birthing journey.”
TASH
WHAT COUPLES SAY
“We laboured at home using many of the techniques you took us through during our active birth session. Vocalisation, visualisation and movement (resting in between contractions) were all helpful and Kieran was able to actively be involved using the acupressure points, hip release, prompting my breathing as well as using soft touch during rest phases. I used the shower as well to relieve pain.”
