Pure Pain and Partner Training

There are many types of childbirth courses you can take. Some courses provide a lot of text and explanation about how childbirth works, others focus on breathing and relaxation, and sometimes the emphasis is on giving birth as easily as possible with minimal pain. However, childbirth is inevitably accompanied by pain, is experienced as intense, and often we have no influence on whether or not (minor or major) complications occur. Often, a birth goes differently than you had imagined beforehand. Despite, or sometimes because of, the birth plan you had made.

We all have thoughts about childbirth, and during the Pure Pain and Partner training, we will explore these thoughts in addition to explaining the processes that occur in your body. We’ll discuss (labor) pain and the abilities you’ve already developed in the past to cope with it. The (birthing) partners will also receive many tools, tips, and tricks to maximally support the laboring woman so that you can truly do it together. This powerful, coaching training was developed by midwife and coach Eliane Coutinho, who has made it her life’s work to focus on preventing negative birth experiences. After all, prevention is better than cure. After the training, you will have enough knowledge and tools to further prepare together and write a birth plan.
