24.01.2022 Exercise and movement don't just prepare your body for birth. They are essential for your psychological well-being before and after birth! "Physical exercise during pregnancy and the postpartum period is a safe strategy to achieve better psychological well- being and to reduce postpartum depressive symptoms."

21.01.2022 As the only Certified Dancing for Birth Instructor in Australia who is ALSO a Certified Spinning Babies Parent Educator, I'm pleased to offer a unique combination - the 3-hour Spinning Babies Parent Class and a 45-minute Dancing for Birth class! These two programs will forever change the way you experience your pregnant and birthing body, instilling deep confidence, greater comfort and embodied knowledge.

20.01.2022 Dancing for Birth classes are my favourite source of fun physical activity for pregnant women! And, according to research presented in the BMJ (British Medical Journal), physical activity and diet-based interventions during pregnancy "reduce gestational weight gain and LOWER the odds of caesarean section." And who doesn't want to lower their odds of caeserean section?!

20.01.2022 Remember, I'm now running Dancing for Birth classes in South Yarra/Prahran. Have you booked in your FREE class? I'd love to have a chance to show you how beneficial these classes can be in preparing your body and mind for birthing. I welcome not only pregnant women but also any women in your life who are supporting you in pregnancy, birth and/or postpartum. Why not invite a friend (your sister, your mum, etc.) to join you in some joyful dance at this special stage in your life? Bookings at [email protected].

20.01.2022 Please enjoy my latest blog post featuring my lovely client, Fiori Giovanni. Her story and strength are truly inspiring! "At the age of 12, Fiori’s marriage wa...s already arranged. By 14, she was recruited to fight in the Eritrean army. At 15, Fiori made the harrowing decision to flee war-torn Eritrea without friends or family. She crossed five continents and 20 countries in search of knowledge, personal growth and wisdom, eventually settling in Australia where she’s now a highly sought-after keynote speaker and a respected Business and Executive Coach.

15.01.2022 Dancing for birth instructor training is coming to Australia in the end of August - are you in? Open to: Aspiring or practicing birth professionals: midwives/doulas/nurses/doctors/childbirth educators... aspiring or practicing health and wellness practioners massage therapists/body workers fitness instructors/dance instructors/yoga instructors/ pregnant women those with a passion to support empowered pregnancy, birth and mothering. WHAT IS Dancing For Birth? Founded in 2001, Dancing For Birth is the leading global class for pregnant and new moms. We are the trifecta of birth preparation: feel-good prenatal fitness, essential birth wisdom, and celebration of pregnancy, birth and mothering. This childbirth education and pre/post natal fitness fusion was created by USA’s National Birth Hero, Founder, Stephanie Larson. The classes are currently offered on four continents. Birth professionals and moms alike swear by our signature moves like Dilation Gyration and use them during labor to make birth shorter, easier and safer. WHY DANCE? Dancing is a fun and gentle exercise that everyone can enjoy, even if you’ve been told you have two left feet! Pregnancy is the perfect time for mother to connect with her body and her baby through movement and awareness. Every mother have primal and powerful birth instincts within her, awaiting activation. Mothers attending DFB classes are always surprised at the numerous benefits for their pregnancy, birth, baby and postpartum recovery. By moving instinctively, using gravity and positioning to their advantage, women can temporarily enlarge the dimensions of their pelvis for the baby’s passage, help their babies rotate and descend, help reduce unnecessary interventions and enjoy natural pain relief. Studies confirm that this shortens labor, reduces epidural requests, and reduces c-sections. WHAT DOES Dancing for Birth CLASS LOOKS LIKE? Dancing For Birth classes teach a language of movement specially designed for women in any stage of pregnancy. The movements are inspired by world dance forms like Belly dance, African dance, and Latin dance. We practice Rebozo techniques for comfort during pregnancy and labor progress. We also stretch, relax and use our signature Inspiration/Affirmation cards to share and discuss our motherhood journeys in a nurturing women circle. Dancing for birth instructor training will give you knowledge and tools to provide such classes in different formats, create communities and enjoy your practice!

12.01.2022 I've been greatly enjoying hosting private Dancing for Birth classes at my home in Prahran. A one-to-one class gives us room to delve into issues specific to your pregnancy, your body and your baby. I can tailor the affirmations, the dance moves, the breathing practice - essentially everything - to what you're needing at any particular point in your pregnancy. Unlike many childbirth preparation or movement classes, my Dancing for Birth sessions engage your mind AND your body. Curious? Why not contact me to schedule your own bespoke Dancing for Birth class!

10.01.2022 What do partners have to say about dancing for birth classes if they are lucky to come to one?

09.01.2022 Although I'm not currently running regular Dancing for Birth classes, I'm always available for private or small group classes, either at your home or mine in Prahran. Or share the fun with your inner circle and have a Dancing for Birth- themed Mother Blessing or Baby Shower. The possibilities are endless!

09.01.2022 Wow, now that's some love for Dancing for Birth! http://dancingforbirth.com/guinness-world-record-attempt/

04.01.2022 I'm thrilled to announce that I'm now a Provisional Spinning Babies Parent Educator! ('Provisional' changes to 'Certified' once I've taught my first 3 classes...). My 3-hour class will teach expectant parents about the pregnant and birthing body and how they can use simple physical activities to create balance in the pelvis, both in pregnancy and in labour. A balanced pelvis creates greater ease and comfort in pregnancy and allows the baby to move into a great position for birth. This, in turn, helps labour to start on time (fewer inductions) and reduces interventions in birth. I'll also teach specific solutions that parents can apply at different points in labour to enhance progress and comfort. I'll be teaching private classes to start (in clients' homes or mine) and hope to begin offering group classes in the coming weeks. Get in touch if you'd like more info and please help spread the word!
