Pain and intensity during labour are a normal and purposeful part of the birthing process. How this feels, and how it is experienced, varies widely from person to person, and even from birth to birth. There is no “right” way to cope, and no expectation that you should manage labour in any particular way.

My free downloadable guide introduces a range of non-medical pain relief and comfort measures that many birthing people find helpful during labour. These techniques can be used on their own or alongside medical pain relief, depending on your needs, preferences and circumstances.
