The difference between our preparation workshops
Workshops at Fijne Geboorte are given in small groups. If not everyone speaks Dutch, these are given in English.
Fijne Geboorte offers two different workshops to prepare you for your labour. “Body Ready Birth workshop”. Currently the “Spinning Babies Parent Class” is being replaced by the very new “Body Ready Birth workshop” which in my opinion offers even more depth. Both current workshops are with your partner or the person who will help you give birth, but you can also come alone.
The two workshops give you different information. They compliment each other and if you would attend both you would have an extremely complete preparation. Nevertheless the information and exercises you get from each one are complete on their own and will not leave you with questions if you cannot participate on both.
From week 28 or later in pregnancy, you can attend the “Body Ready Birth workshop” and the Birth Partner workshop.
What is the difference between the two workshops?
The Birth Partner workshop is more of a classic preparation where you learn the basics. Think: how labour starts, stages of labour, breathing techniques, positions, hands-on techniques plus practical information you need to know….
The Body Ready Birth workshop goes beyond the basics—teaching you what to do if labor slows down, how to keep things progressing (even with an epidural), and how to create more space and balance in your body.
This workshop prepares you for whatever ups tackle comes your way
Learn practical tools like using a peanut ball for optimal positioning, plus hands-on techniques your partner can use to support you every step of the way.
Feel confident, prepared, and ready for birth.
Body Ready Birth Workshop
In the “Body Ready Birth workshop”, you will learn about physiology of birth, how and why it is important to create the necessary space for your baby. Moreover, this approach helps you during pregnancy to restore the balance in your body so that you have less discomfort and pain, and it gives you tools you can use during childbirth if it becomes challenging. This powerful workshop helps reclaim the body’s natural wisdom for birth in a world that’s made it forget!
This workshop is new in the Netherlands and currently only 2 certified Body Ready Method® Pros are allowed to offer it.
This is a single 4-hour workshop. You can take this workshop from 28 weeks. Even if you are at the end of your pregnancy, it will be of great benefit to you.
What are the benefits of attending this workshop?
- Innovative hands on techniques to increase comfort and connection during labor.
- Knowledge of birthing positions and techniques to help labor progress smoothly and effectively.
- Techniques to prepare the levels of the pelvis where the baby is waiting.
- What to do when labor stalls or delays.
- How can you progress labor while you take pain relieve.
- Full confidence to go into labour with the wisdom of what to do, when and why.
- You get a nice home preparation pack with preparation lessons that you can watch at home as many times as you like and a PDF with all the info you learned.

Birth Partner Workshop
Fijne Geboorte offers every 6 weeks a Birth Partner Workshop. In the “Birth Partner Workshop” we focus on the physiology of childbirth, the different phases of labour, positions that can help with this and breathing techniques. A 2-hour workshop where you will learn how to prepare for labour and give tips and tools to your birth partner in order to assist you better.
Childbirth is not only intensive for the woman who is in labor but can also be intensive for her partner. In the Birth Partner Workshop, the partner gets an idea of his or her active role in the birth, and learns different ways to support you.
